Thank you very much, Jerry!
Leveque during one of the orchestration sessions. Here was a man that in ten years had become the
most famous jazz musician in Europe, written a large body of work, invented a whole style of music,
survived an ugly war and laid claim to being the greatest jazz guitarist of all time. I wanted to show
Django at the height of his powers. Focused, proud, the indisputable master, a true visionary. For his
guitar I used several photographic cuttings from the original 1936 "Django Reinhardt" model
Macafferrie guitar no 503. This model had the inscription "Modele Django Reinhardt" on the central
part of the headstock of the guitar."...........Carolyn Ridsdale.
