Welcome
This website offers a small collection of YouTube videos that I regularly use to learn new songs and for reference and inspiration.
Essentially pieces from the Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz) repertoire, which of course means a lot of Django Reinhardt, but also many others.
Basically this is just a list of links that I use for my convenience. It might be useful for others too, that's why I made this website public.
All credit goes to the original artists and people who created and uploaded these videos to YouTube.

I admit, the focus here is mainly on the solo guitarists. The legendary jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli can also be heard on almost all Django recordings. And of course there are many other great accompanists, accordion, double bass and violin players etc. who are not always explicitly mentioned here.
