Gypsy Jazz Caravan

Arguably the most brilliant jazz guitarist of the 20th century, Belgian gypsy player Django Reinhardt virtually reinvented the form with a unique two-finger style and the application of his own highly individualistic improvisatory method. The documentary release Django Reinhardt: King of Jazz Guitar both explores and pays homage to Reinhardt's life and career, and features selections from Reinhardt interpretations of 21 classics including "Tiger Rag," "I Saw Stars," "Charleston," and "Lisa."

As with the previous “experiments,” The Django Experiment V was recorded and mastered by Eric Ritter at The Windmill Recording Studio in Scranton, Pa., with Wrembel and his world-class band performing live, with no headphones or tracking, in a setting conducive to improvisation with each musician pushing their own boundaries to evoke new interpretations of Reinhardt’s music as well as songs by other jazz and gypsy jazz composers.

Jazz Raga, recorded in August of 1966, and released in early 1967, is Hungarian jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo's third album for Impulse!, and his most exotic and mysterious. Szabo not only played guitar on the live-to-two-track sessions, he also overdubbed sitar on nine of the album's eleven cuts…
