Pourquoi cet hommage ?
Le gitan Django REINHARDT (1910-1953), reste le plus grand guitariste de jazz du monde. Il a failli mourir dans l’incendie de sa caravane et restera des jours dans le coma. Deux doigts de sa main gauche resteront paralysés à vie et il créa une nouvelle technique éblouissante que peu de guitaristes arrivent à imiter. Si son rayonnement était mondial, pour lui le plus important était de jouer au billard.
C’est en hommage à cet artiste unique que Jean Louis BERTHET souhaite lui donner son nom.
Why this homage ?
Gipsy Django REINHARDT (1910-1953) still remains the world’s grandest jazz guitarist. He was nearly killed by a fire set on his camping trailer, but was finally rescued and remained in a coma for several days. As a result, two fingers of his left hand became permanently paralyzed and he developed marvelously novel techniques to play the guitar, yet few guitarists have been successful in imitating the techniques. Despite his worldwide reputation, what he thought the most important was to play billiards. In order to pay homage to this unique artist, Jean Louis BERTHET dedicated his name.
