Django in Alan Furst's "Night Soldiers"

So I'm reading Alan Furst's 1988 spy novel, "Night Soldiers", set partly in 1930s Spain. I also happen to have just started learning Spanish.
Thus, I was excited when I got to a section that is a radio announcer announcing the start of his show:
"Hay veinte horas, y la hora para el jazz hot. La selección primera.....
Oh, cool, I thought...now I know the word for hot jazz, as I flipped the page on my kindle...
"..."In a Sentimental Mood," con Louis Vola tocando el violón, trum-trum-trum,..."
Hey, I know him! Cool...
"...Marcel Bianchi y Pierre Ferret en guitarras,"
Them too!
"Django Reinhardt en la guitarra sola, y, entonces, el grande Stephane Grappelli tocando el violín. Gusta bien, todo el mundo, gusta bien."
Quite a happy surprise!
