Even as a jazz guitarist myself, it still boggles the mind what this guy could do. You would never know he had any fingers that were disabled. In fact, just the opposite, it sounds like he has more than everyone else. The melodic lines and phrases this guy played were beyond beautiful, and so advanced. You just wonder; HOW? The be-bop Django and Parker created is the peak of musical theory and discipline, way beyond classical (you actually need to master classical first before you can branch out to be-bop), and Django was at the top of the heap. Some people's understanding is just beyond the understanding of everyone else's I guess. It's a shame Django is only known by trained musicians, and guys like Clapton and Hendrix are worshipped by almost everyone else. Comparing Django to Clapton as guitarists is like comparing Albert Einstein to an impaired pre-schooler in mathematics. And that is truly an accurate analogy.
