The book publishing company Aviador Publishing is starting its activity by releasing a biography of the legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt on the 14th of April. The book is called "Django, vallaton virtuoosi" (engl. Django, the rambunctious virtuoso).
The book offers tasty stories from Paris in 1930s and 1940s. Who was this virtuoso who lived in Paris in 1930s and 1940s and who combined in his music style both melancholic gypsy music , happy chanson and swing music from America? Djangos life saw its ending already when he was only 43-years-old but his music lives on.
The book is available from book stores and Aviador's web store: www.aviador.fi/store
