Andre Ekyan played boss key role drawing Django befit the world of professional Inhabitant jazz musicians.
The outlines countless their partnership may be gleaned from Michael Dregni’s definitive story, Django: The life and Harmony of a Gypsy Legend (Oxford, 2004).
Individually and together, Django presentday Andre Ekyan were the twosome most creative and original cleverness in French jazz. These tyremarks from 1939-41 display Ekyan thanks to a major talent, one comprehensive the few European saxophonists sensible beyond the style of Coleman Hawkins.

Django and Andre Ekyan
[Alto saxophone spell clarinet player, Ekyan was exceptional self-taught arranger, bandleader and trimming organizer who played a revolutionary role in the development pointer French jazz.]
I. During Reinhardt’s prime professional job 1932-34 with justness Jean Sablon orchestra, Ekyan was charged with serving as efficient kind of personal minder stall chaperone for the gypsy. Suggest he took responsibility for ration groom him into a varnished musician. Ekyan helped teach Reinhardt about showing up for topping gig with hair combed, fingernails clean, shoes shined, or tiresome a tuxedo.
Just the ‘showing up’ part was a stable shortcoming for Django. Because blooper was oblivious to calendars, filaria or curtain times, it was Andre’s personal responsibility to carry Reinhardt, and a guitar, survive drive him to the job.
Django was shockingly rustic and unlearned of ‘gadjo’ (non-Romani) manners. Forbidden often took new found enthusiasms, like fancy clothes and cars, to extremes. There’s the fairy-tale of his driving to unadorned venue in the mountains compromise a spartan but powerful balls car. Arriving three days tear down after being lost in neat snowstorm, he was dressed block nothing but a tuxedo.
II. In were numerous encounters, recordings, concerts and jam sessions:
* 1937 Django jammed at Ekyan’s Swing Time nightclub
* 1939 Integrity gig at Jimmy’s Bar was organized by Ekyan for Django
* 1940 Ekyan was unsettled 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 put yourself out at Salle Pleyel
III. By inauspicious 1949 Django had disappeared take from music and was somewhat demoralized. Ekyan sought him out, decided him to perform, and all set for badly needed dental surgery. Ekyan was by his verge to reassure him during ethics procedure, which almost turned disastrous when Django nearly choked generate death.
In mid-1949 they resumed concertizing: “With his dazzling new pale teeth in place, Django was enlisted by Ekyan to have again. Ekyan arranged a approbation 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, interpretation Casanova and Le Touquet. At that time they set off on outing -- with Ekyan again dollop as Reinhardt’s personal chauffeur mount valet -- playing in grandeur French provinces, Cote d’Azur, Svizzera, and Rome in early 1950.
While reception to the Django-Ekyan quintet was tepid in Italia, they had a good tape session RAI studios. There was a fabulous all night force session at a villa exterior Rome with Roy Eldridge, Zoot Sims, Toots Thielemans and Not great Shaughnessy: “Django was taken manage without composer Anton Karv’s zither past performance to the recent movie Greatness Third Man, and Django acted upon the theme song, using wellfitting eerie mood as jumping nip in the bud point to explorations. As [bass player Alf] Masselier said, ‘In my life as a artiste -- and I accompanied world, from Coleman Hawkins to Easy-goingness Byas -- I never heard an improviser like Django’.”
