Free Music Review: Cool Electric Django shows the way
Hit: 5 Stars
Django's electric period, while maligned by some, provides many of the most creative improvisational works by Django ever. To say that the musical landscape had changed since the Hot Club hot jazz days of the 1930s is a rather large understatement. This CD represents the birth of Cool Django, early 1950s. Styles had changed, the war was over, and the electric guitar had been recently popularized most famously by Charlie Christian. The new "cool jazz" school was a new direction in music, though initially unpopular with the public. Certainly it was of great interest to brilliant improvisors such as Miles Davis. The more relaxed tempos, and the singing sustain provided by the electrification process, allowed Django to create tone paintings of incredible beauty. Let's not forget, Django was a painter too. It is miraculous that Django was able to command the guitar and amplifier to such a degree at such early stages of development for both of these instruments. Yes, the amplifier is an instrument that one needs to master. And yet with that primitive equipment Django's electric tone is so pure and intimate that it defies reason. Of course, the electric guitar went on to become wildy popular and the dominate instrument in popular music in my lifetime (b. 1958). I have studied electric guitarists in jazz, rock, blues, country, etc. for most of my life. There are many great players in all genres. It all boils down to the ability to make the instrument talk. These recordings were made in 1953. To date I have yet to hear any musician speak so eloquently on the electric guitar. How is this possible? Billions of dollars have been spent on research and development by Gibson, Fender, Guild, Marshall, and every other guitar and amplifier company, in search of the ultimate tone. Yet, Django, with his humble, primitive equipment, managed to create the defining sound of electric jazz guitar, which has never been equaled, let alone surpassed. This release, with it's awesome cover photo, is essential. It's tantalizing to think about what Django would have done if he had not died so young. Here is a glimpse.
