Is Eddie Lang better than Django Reinhardt?

Since i am proficient in both styles im the winner. Yeah I wheeen! Ok back to my stupid Tangos.LOL

I have a confession to make. I don't like Django. It's not really jazz, it's gypsy. And the Hot Quintet? Wonderful musicianship but heard one, heard 'em all.

Sorry about that

I think this comes from which order you listened to them in

To those of us who went from a lost soul guitarist to listening to django to listening to jazz he is almost definitely Jazz

If you went from digging Jazz guitar to listening to Django, you might think its something more alien.

Not jazz? Not so sure about that (but I do get where you're coming from)
