DJANGO REINHARDT AND THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF GYPSY JAZZ by Michael Dregni: Hundreds of vintage photos, reproductions of posters and concert programs and new photos of famous guitars. The text offers ample anecdotes about Reinhardt, his brother Joseph and their friends - the brothers Baro, Matelot and Sarane Ferret. Collectively, these five seemed to play on practically every jazz, pop and musette record made in Paris between 1930 and 1955. Dregni tells stories about the sessions they played, the guitars they used and even the clothes they wore. The photos are amazing: the caravan Django lived in during the 1930s; a Baro Ferret bar filled with Parisian underworld figures; Joseph laying a guitar on his brother's coffin, many more. 208 pp.
