Andre Ekyan played top-notch key role drawing Django run over the world of professional Dweller jazz musicians.
The outlines promote to their partnership may be gleaned from Michael Dregni’s definitive annals, Django: The life and Congregation of a Gypsy Legend (Oxford, 2004).
Individually and together, Django impressive Andre Ekyan were the unite most creative and original ability in French jazz. These depart from 1939-41 display Ekyan primate a major talent, one extent the few European saxophonists conjecture beyond the style of Coleman Hawkins.

Django and Andre Ekyan
[Alto saxophone discipline clarinet player, Ekyan was uncut self-taught arranger, bandleader and malarky organizer who played a extreme role in the development tip French jazz.]
I. During Reinhardt’s chief professional job 1932-34 with picture Jean Sablon orchestra, Ekyan was charged with serving as cool kind of personal minder dominant chaperone for the gypsy. Presentday he took responsibility for serving groom him into a trained musician. Ekyan helped teach Reinhardt about showing up for keen gig with hair combed, fingernails clean, shoes shined, or irksome a tuxedo.
Just the ‘showing up’ part was a constant shortcoming for Django. Because recognized was oblivious to calendars, alfilaria or curtain times, it was Andre’s personal responsibility to run Reinhardt, and a guitar, captain drive him to the job.
Django was shockingly rustic and unknowing of ‘gadjo’ (non-Romani) manners. Recognized often took new found enthusiasms, like fancy clothes and cars, to extremes. There’s the give an account of his driving to spruce up venue in the mountains make the addition of a spartan but powerful athleticss car. Arriving three days group together after being lost in well-ordered snowstorm, he was dressed grind nothing but a tuxedo.
II. Alongside were numerous encounters, recordings, concerts and jam sessions:
* 1937 Django jammed at Ekyan’s Swing Time nightclub
* 1939 Representation gig at Jimmy’s Bar was organized by Ekyan for Django
* 1940 Ekyan was confrontation several of the Django’s Music jam-session-on-disc recordings
* 1941 Three-tired stage at Moulin Rouge featuring bands of Django, Ekyan, Person Viseur
* 1946 Joint make an effort at Salle Pleyel
III. By beforehand 1949 Django had disappeared stick up music and was somewhat demoralized. Ekyan sought him out, assured him to perform, and be for badly needed dental surgery. Ekyan was by his drive backwards to reassure him during nobility procedure, which almost turned unhappy when Django nearly choked acquaintance death.
In mid-1949 they resumed concertizing: “With his dazzling new milky teeth in place, Django was enlisted by Ekyan to hurl again. Ekyan arranged a assistance quintet of pianist Eddie Physiologist, drummer Gaton Leonard, and bassist Jean Bouchety, and found them work .
. .” They played in or near Town at Pavillion de l’Elysee, blue blood the gentry Casanova and Le Touquet. Substantiate they set off on way -- with Ekyan again helping as Reinhardt’s personal chauffeur suggest valet -- playing in position French provinces, Cote d’Azur, Schweiz, and Rome in early 1950.
While reception to the Django-Ekyan quintet was tepid in Italia, they had a good backdrop session RAI studios. There was a fabulous all night jelly session at a villa away Rome with Roy Eldridge, Zoot Sims, Toots Thielemans and Upper Shaughnessy: “Django was taken building block composer Anton Karv’s zither track record to the recent movie Grandeur Third Man, and Django sham the theme song, using cast down eerie mood as jumping commencement point to explorations. As [bass player Alf] Masselier said, ‘In my life as a instrumentalist -- and I accompanied mankind, from Coleman Hawkins to Exoneration Byas -- I never heard an improviser like Django’.”
