If you can imagine the ideal soundtrack to driving through the scented country roads of France on a hot lazy summer’s day then it would be the music of Martin Taylor’s Spirit of Django. To mark the 100th Anniversary of the birth of one of the founders of European jazz, Django Reinhardt, Martin Taylor has reformed his award winning group Spirit of Django after a 15-year hiatus for a new album & tour. Martin Taylor first came to prominence in the 70s through his work with violinist Stephane Grappelli and has gone on to collaborate with artists as diverse as Jeff Beck, Jamie Cullum, Bill Wyman and Bryn Terfel.
