Reinhardt Mandino ~ Digo o Divés ~ CD
The current interest in Django-style Gipsy swing is largely due to artists like Strasbourg guitarist Mandino Reinhardt, who for 25 years has been plying the Django trade with art, charisma, and an abundance of talent. Mandino’s new ensemble is a throwback to the pre-war Django ensembles of several guitars, violin, and double bass. As in all the best Gipsy Jazz, there is no compromise of virtuosity, but the emphasis is all on melody and phrasing.
