I am 62 years old. when I was14 I studied guitar from a real master. His name was Richard Choi. He was 65 years old and retired at this time. Back in the 1930's he was head music arranger for NBC radio. He met Django and Stephane Grappelle. He played with them and did the music arrangements for them. My teacher did not care for Grapplle. When he talked about Django there was that look of reverence. In 1969, he pulled out an old 78 rpm record of Django's. It blew me away! He was light years ahead of his times. My teacher had all those arrangements with Django. I have an idea where it might be.

@spynae
Django's playing is in itself a master class in comping with chord inversions, substitutions, and maintaining swing feel even through solos. No guitarist's education, regardless of genre played, is complete without a study of Django's music.

As a Romani I know what I'm talking about he broke away from traditional Romani music which is beautiful he loved Jazz so he put a Romani flavor into jazz and the results was one-of-a-kind he helped to make Jazz popular worldwide in his day the royalties of Europe sought after him to entertain his other Royal guests and at their children's weddings and so on musical genius a master and a proud Roma opray Roma that means Roma people stand up be proud be lucky and be blessed
