(France) In 1945 saxaphonist Charlie Parker (The Bird) recorded his now classic "Ornithology." Since then, jazzers have been writing songs with "ology" tacked onto the end as a sly tip of the hat. In 1949, gypsy jazz guitarist extraordinaire Django Rheinhardt reunited with violinist Stephan Grapelli, and recorded "Djangology." It may not have been a tip of the hat in quite the same way; although both musicians are considered to be giants in their fields, their musical contributions are quite different. Still, it's a graceful and swinging tune, and in this rendition Lagrène gives the satin-toned violinist Florin Niculescu plenty of room to shine.
