This is the lick I had questioned earlier - finding things CC "lifted" from Basie records, the closest I can come to this is Pres' last 4 measures on "Roseland...
One can easily imagine CC's record collection including as much Pres as he could get his hands on. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I just picked up the French label complete Django Reinhardt discs, which present everything the man recorded in chronological order. I also read an excellent...
Django had no influence on Charles' playing. CC did however influence Django. You can hear many of CC's phrases in Django's solos around 1950 after he...
What Django Reinhardt played in 1935 was not the same as what he played in 1953. Also, he wasn't working in a vacuum. He was part of a music scene that drew...
Hi folks Django was before CC in any way. He was born before and started his recording career long before CC. And CC knew reportedly a Django solo, St. Louis...
Ole, Now, now! Play the game! Please read the original postings #2081 onward and you'll see that you weren't put down....you conceded - #2087 wasn't it? Please...
Peter Are we ever going to discuss in detail the actual runs etc of the DR solo and compare them to CC's licks. It doesn't seem very likely - there seem to be...
Dear peter Now you must excuse me. I didn't see your PPS and PPPS before writing the previous message. If you honestly want to see the CC phrases in the DR...
Django's biographer says he heard the latest Goodman swing records while back in France during the early 1940s, and was influenced by them in his choice of...
Ole, The problem here is that CC was undoubtedly influenced by horn players, surely we all accept that. You say that you have found a number of instances where...
... As astonishing as it may seem to those of you who know our history, I agree completely with Peter on this. But why doesn't someone post some clips or...
I previously cited a couple of early 40s tunes where I heard an influence. I don't have access to transcriptions, but the songs were Swing 42, recorded in...

Hello CC group, Please when you all get some time check out this clip of DR playing a tune called Gypsy Jazz Brazil on My Space .....It is very modern sounding...
Hi Snatch I've now been listening to the recordings that you mention and I can't really hear any clear CC influence. There might be a few times some licks ...
Hi Tom The piece you are talking about must be the one which normally is just called Brazil and recorded with a very modern rhythm group (Pierre Michelot on...
