The Djangoners

  The Djangoners play the music of the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt and his band from late 1930s Paris - "The Hot Club of France" - arguably, the most famous Jazz band Europe ever produced. 

 Django Reinhardt was born January 23, 1910. He began playing music early and was able to make a living busking in Paris cafés by the time he was 15.  But, at age 18, he was seriously injured in a fire that rendered two fingers on his left hand useless and doctors believed he would never play guitar again. Reinhardt persevered in rehabilitation and developed a fingering technique using only two fingers for his spectacular guitar solos. In mid-1930s Paris, Django joined forces with the gifted violinist, Stephane Grappelli and formed the “Hot Club of France” that went on to a prolific recording and performance career popularizing Django's original compositions and his renditions of American Jazz classics.

 Today, Django Reinhardt's music is enjoying a resurgence in popularity and The Djangoners are carrying on his legacy true to its tradition featuring Bobby Henrie on lead guitar, Eric Aceto on violin, Harry Aceto on rhythm guitar and Brian Williams on upright bass.
