The Spirit of Django

on BBC Radio 3

An evening of music at Ronnie Scott 's club in London, inspired by the gypsy guitarist
Django Reinhardt. It is played by Martin Taylor (acoustic guitar) and, avoiding
Django's line-up,
Dave O'Higgins (saxophones), Jack Emblow (accordion),
John Goldie (rhythm guitar) and Terry Gregory (acoustic bass guitar).
The group play standards like Night and Day, Lady Be Good and Honeysuckle Rose, pieces by Django (Nuages, Swing 42 and Minor Swing), as well as compositions by Martin Taylor (Double Top, Django's Dream and Chez Fernand). This recording is introduced by Geoffrey Smith who, during the interval, reminisces with Ronnie
Scott and his partner Pete King about the 35 years since the club first opened in London.
