This composition was written for one of my musical heroes, Django Reinhardt.
I didn’t try to imitate his style but I sought to capture some aspects of his musical personality.
Those who are familiar with Django’s music will find a brief quotation of Nuages, one of his mostbeautiful compositions.

Gilbert Isbin’s compositional and performing style defies genre, blending elements of contemporary classical, jazz, early music, world music and improvisation. He has been compared favourably to the likes of Ralph Towner and Egberto Gismonti, his music described as “oblique, subtle, and hauntingly beautiful”

Mel Bay: ‘Belgian composer Gilbert Isbin is one of the most interesting, dynamic and poetic composers writing for the guitar today.’
