Django - The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend - Paperback
By Michael Dregni
In this carefully researched biography, rich with details from interviews with family members, friends and musicians, Dregni, a writer for Vintage Guitar magazine, brings legendary Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt (19101953) into the spotlight.
Born in a Belgian caravan, Django began performing in Parisian dance halls at 12. In 1928, after a fire turned his left hand into a clawed hook, he learned to work the frets with just two fully mobile fingers, creating new chord forms and playing with stunning dexterity.
With his brother and three other musiciansincluding celebrated violinist Stéphane Grappelli (staid, suave, classically trained, Stéphane was in many ways Djangos opposite)he formed a string jazz ensemble, Quintette du Hot Club de France, which started informally in 1934 and was, by 1937, nearly "falling apart under the strain of [its] own genius." But they kept playing, and their fame spread.
Spared by the Nazis because a German kommandant liked his playing, Django became a national hero when one of his compositions, "Nuages," became the unofficial anthem of occupied France. Dregni casts Django as a mercurial, charismatic Romany innocent, alternately transfixed by gadjo life and dismissive of it.
Colorful descriptions of the nightclubs of jazz-age Paris and sensitive appraisals of Djangos musicianship add to the books appeal.

John Jorgenson - Intermediate Gypsy Jazz Guitar DVD + CD
Includes 2 hour DVD and CD
Now that you have laid a foundation by completing the material in Intro to Gypsy Jazz Guitar, the second volume Intermediate Gypsy Jazz Guitar, also presented in the DVD/CD/Book format, continues by presenting you with characteristic Gypsy style licks and techniques that are based on the arpeggios and patterns taught in the first volume.
Once again Jorgenson presents a very systematic learning method by first teaching simple licks and techniques and then gradually building to more complex material.
In studying the left and right hand techniques and ornamentations presented in the second volume, the student will gain an understanding of how to play the guitar with the Gypsy accent.
Jorgenson also begins the study of Django Reinhardt's playing here by teaching an improvised chorus that Django played on a recorded version of the song "Undecided". Two other songs, Raul Reynoso's "Waneta's Waltz" and Jorgenson's "Snowflake Waltz" are also studied.

Robin Nolan - Essential Gypsy Jazz Licks Vol 1
The first in a new series of books from the Robin Nolan Music empire. Released December 17th 2004
The initial series of playalong books have been one of the most useful sources of learning the Gypsy Jazz style ever produced.
Now Robin has taken it to the next level.
Here we learn to get some licks in our fingers to the point where we can solo over many of the Gypsy Jazz classics.
I've read through the book and tried some the licks and it's really easy to understand. The enclosed CD also shows how it should be done both at slow speed and standard tempo for every example.. What more could you ask for.
