生日快樂, Monsieur Django Reinhardt ! Joyeux Anniversaire !
今天是法國爵士吉他手Django Reinhardt的生日。他在1910年的1月23日出生在比利時， 是爵士音樂裡面最有影響力的吉他手。後期因為受傷的緣故，他在後半生的事業裡只用兩只手指彈奏音樂。和他搭檔最久也最成功的另外一位樂人是小提琴家 Stéphane Grappelli。 這兩人的合作，開拓了吉普賽爵士風格新領域。這種演奏方式也可以被稱為 “hot club swing" 風格。在20年代末，30年代的歐美非常流行。Django是彈奏主旋律和solo的吉他手，中間夾著Stéphane 的小提琴solo。 音樂的總體節奏便是由另外一名吉他手，和低音大提琴手組成。
此歌 "Aint Misbehavin'”是由Fats Waller在1929年編寫，Django和Stéphane 的這個版本是在1937年錄製的。
