Django never, ever shut himself away in a ivory tower : he appreciate the turbulence of the Be Bop, and was thrilled by the inventiness of Dizzy and Parker, but he discovered he couldn't belong to the same church. The outward apperance is reassuring and, of course, from the very first note, his playing remains recognisable, but for these Blue Star sessions (it was a sign of the times), he adopted an amplified guitar. From then on, as Patrick Williams wrote in his book on the guitarist 'Music for Django, turns into a question mark.'
