I should have thought of this much earlier, the celebration in Paris of Django's 100th birthday. Couldn't find any shot of the complete concert, just a few random extracts
This one certainly showing the larger Gipsy Jazz band your ever watched
And this one which is one that I already knew and which always impresses me the most

I really really love that old stuff. It's got a certain kind of dusty atmosphere.

I've been a fan of Stephane Wrembel and Gonzalo Bergara for about 10 years. Lately, I've been digging deeper and this thread is very relevant to me right now.
The internet lessons I've seen by Yaakov Hoter (here on this site) and Sven Jungbeck have been incredibly helpful. I also bought Wrembel's book.
The basic Django compilations like the classic blue "Best of" and "Djangology" are helping me keep things simple. I'm also trying to listen to people slowly to avoid overload. I like Bergara so I've been listening to the album he did with Adrien Moignard. Wrembel was influenced by Angelo Debarre, Bireli Lagrene, and Stochelo Rosenberg (among others) and I've peeked at their catalogs as well. I also stumbled onto Les Doigts de l'Homme and Olli Soikkeli.
Lastly, I've been listening to guitarists I know were influenced by Django but had their own thing going on. Tonight I listened to "For Django" by Joe Pass. Of course there's Les Paul and even Tony Iommi.
I'm not really sure what direction I'm going to take this in. For now, I'm just learning songs on my acoustic (and my unplugged Telecaster at night). So we'll see what happens once we come out on the other side of the current state of world affairs. But I enjoy the music, especially when it's not just straight Django tunes.
