All That Swing returns after a 1 week hiatus, which was no excuse to stop listening to KZSU. In fact I had my friend The Ambassador play some of his finest soul LPs instead. I hope some of you took advantage of it.
Anyhow, we’re back and this week we tried to draw a musical map of Django Reinhardt and his legacy, particularly his French legacy. We started the hour with a previously unreleased solo recording (in fact it had been recorded by a radio listener over his or her transistor radio during a live broadcast – you too can be a hero ;)). Then we wandered onto Django’s legacy in France and the Netherlands with artists such as Stephane Grappelli, Stochelo Rosenberg, Angelo Debarre and Sanseverino. We made a final stop in Brazil with another guitar virtuoso, Baden Powell.
