The distinguished French critic Charles Delaunay, who knows more about Django than anyone alive, here provides not only the familiar outline of a life--the childhood travels in gypsy caravans, the fire that left Django with a crippled hand, the legendary temper and generosity--but he also collected scores of anecdotes about the sensitivity and musical gifts that were the basis for Django's appearance as a character in Jean Cocteau's \u003ci\u003eLes Enfants Terribles.\u003c\/i\u003e Who else but Django could charm his way out of a jail sentence by serenading the police officer with his guitar?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe comprehensive discography at the back of the book completes Delaunay's picture of this \"misrepresented and fantastic creature, at once so captivating and so divorced from the contentions of his age.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eGrand Central Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e8\" H x 5\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9780306801716\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765719957636,"sku":null,"price":26.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/1B82C7F7-042A-4E56-AE1D-2D42390F8826.jpg?v=1776359299","url":"https:\/\/librairieresonance.com\/en\/products\/django-reinhardt","provider":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
