"Interesting read in parts... At least a quarter of the book was devoted to subject matter that only a serious fan could appreciate. All in all, it opened my mind to a type of music I hadn't seriously considered before..."
"Gypsy culture, Paris from Josephine Baker to Jean-Paul Sartre, Nazis, American Jazz men, Les Zazous (swing kids, basically) Django lived one long and crazy life (even if he died in his 40s). Essentially childlike in most areas - finances, responsibilities of any sort, getting out of bed in the morning, friendships, it was this quality that allowed him to be one of the most incredible improvisers ever. Fascinating contextual stories about his life and role in Gypsy history. Nearly forgotten after his death (Gypsys don't believe in speaking of the dead after they're gone) his music and identity was resurrected decades later until today he is basically a saint, complete with his music being a part of Gypsy religious services."
