Refined Records is proud to present Reflections of Reinhardt,
a music sampler commemorating the 50th anniversary of gypsy
guitar legend Django Reinhardt's passing. Offering the perfect
introduction to the Refined Records catalog, this compilation
features more than half a dozen different contemporary artists,
many who have performed at ever-popular Reinhardt tribute
festivals around the globe in countries such as France, Germany,
Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and the United Sates. Their world-class
talent has landed them on the stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln
Center, and Birdland all in New York City, as well as international
jazz festivals in Barcelona, Montreal, Toronto, Saint Louis,
and Seattle. Reinhardt's influence is omnipresent in these
twelve tracks that reflect the timeless allure his unique
guitar style has in wooing new fans a half century after his
demise. However one describes this music phenomenon today,
be it "Gypsy Swing," "EuroSwing," "Vineyard
Jazz" or "Café Music," it's even more
popular today than when it spread like wildfire across 1930s
Europe. Moreover, the music is characteristically refined
and the perfect gift for any occasion.
