Crazy stuff

Good to see that Django is still out there making music. I lost track of him the last years but will check this album out.

Yes, Django is a true original. I am a big fan of his.

Puzzling that jazz giants like these four are now selling their music on BandCamp and not via a label.

From what I understand it is a much better royalty deal on bandcamp that what they get from the major labels.

He’s brilliant on the excellent Anouar Brahem album Blue Maqams mentioned above.
