Testimonials
"Finally, someone has given Django's solo pieces the attention and respect that they deserve. With Unaccompanied Django, Michael Horowitz has given guitarists a true gift; insight into the mind and compositional skills of the first true guitar hero, Django Reinhardt. Inside these pages you will find well-researched and skillful transcriptions that inspire the player, as well as the listener lucky enough to hear this music performed. "
-John Jorgenson, world-renowned session guitarist, former member of the Desert Rose Band, Hellecasters, and Elton John Band. He is currently touring and recording with the John Jorgenson Band and has been a leading proponent of Gypsy jazz in the U.S. for 20 years.
"Horowitz takes the lessons taught in Gypsy Picking and gives the player a melodic way to fully integrate them into their own playing. The transcriptions are outstanding, following Django's original style - fingerings and all, while the Gypsy Etudes examine different stylistic traits common in Manouche solo guitar. Gypsy Picking set the standard for what a true method on Jazz Manouche should be and Unaccompanied Django raises that bar."
