To mark the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Django Reinhardt, Martin Taylor has reformed his award winning group Spirit of Django for the new album, ‘Last Train to Hauteville’.
If you can imagine the ideal soundtrack to driving through the scented country roads of France on a
hot lazy summer’s day then it would be the music of Martin Taylor’s Spirit of Django. To mark the
100th Anniversary of the birth of one of the founders of European jazz Django Reinhardt, Martin
Taylor has reformed his award winning group Spirit of Django after a 15 year hiatus for the new
album, ‘Last Train to Hauteville’.
In 1994 Martin formed Spirit of Django to re-explore his own Gypsy roots. Their first album reached
No.1 in the UK Jazz Charts with their version of Robert Palmer's 'Johnny & Mary' becoming familiar
across Europe as the theme for the successful 'Nicole-Papa' TV adverts for Renault Clio.
They were voted Best Small Group & were top of the US Gavin Jazz Charts before Martin retired the
group to work on his collaborations with Bill Wyman, Bryn Terfel & Jamie Cullum as well as his solo
recordings. A recent concert at The Royal Albert Hall in London marked the return of Spirit of Django
in advance of their first album in over fourteen years. Martin Taylor’s Spirit of Django includes fast
rising jazz singer Alison Burns, saxophonist Alan Barnes and maestro accordionist Jack Emblow.
“Apart from being a phenomenally good guitarist, Taylor writes the catchiest tunes imaginable. Happy music with the lightest of touches, this could be the jazz hit of the summer.”
Dave Gelly, The Oberver
