Description:

Joseph "Nin Nin" Reinhardt, Django's brother. In this clip Django's brother Joseph demonstrates his considerable skill as a soloist and composer. The unusual flat top guitar he is playing was supposedly built by Joseph himself. In many photos from after Django's death, Joseph can be seen holding this same guitar. Also take note that Joseph's accompanist, Vivian Villerstein, is playing American style flat four rhythm on an archtop guitar. These are all characteristics of the post-Django era in Paris, in which musicians tended to stray away from Django's style and repertoire.

I heard that after Django died, Joseph didn't pick up the guitar again for several years and that while with the Quintet du Hot Club of France, Django wasn't always so nice to him....never letting him solo and making him carry his gear around..But thats just what I heard...Django (and those who played with him) are and always will be very close to my heart. Thank you for posting this short clip!!!

Sorry. I do not know date of the video. I presume after Django's death in 1953, but I'm not sure.
