    [Portrait of Django Reinhardt, Aquarium, New York, N.Y., ca. Nov. 1946]
    The serious countenance of Django Reinhardt, cover subject by Bill Gottlieb for this issue, is in deference to the great French guitarist's current concert tour with Duke Ellington. Django, who has built a tremendous American reputation through his waxings with the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, was brought from Europe last month by the William Morris Agency, and one of his first concerts in this country was the Beat's Chicago Civic Opera House concert earlier this month. He will appear with Ellington Nov. 23-24 at Carnegie Hall | Caption from Down Beat: The serious countenance of Django Reinhardt, cover subject by Bill Gottlieb for this issue, is in deference to the great French guitarist's current concert tour with Duke Ellington.

    [Portrait of Django Reinhardt, Aquarium, New York, N.Y., ca. Nov. 1946]
    Guitar: Django Reinhardt. The Gypsy wandered off on his longest trip to date when he embarked for the States. He came without his instrument and I had to swipe this one from Fred Guy to get an appropriate shot. Note his much discussed crippled fingering hand. Maybe this will convince you guys who suspected that, if anything, the remarkable Reinhardt had a few extra digits to perform his famous brand of musical magic | Caption from Down Beat: Guitar: Django Reinhardt.
