Just posted my solo guitar arrangement of Manhã de Carnaval — you might also know it as the theme from Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro), the 1959 film that won the Palme d'Or and the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. This arrangement is inspired by one of my favorite guitarists, Kosta Lukacs. Recorded solo at Jazztone Studios in Valencia! What song would you like to hear as solo guitar?

This is the first song I ever wrote. I named it "Insomnia." I wrote it while I was still working early mornings managing at a grocery store — I had this little melody stuck in my head and didn't sleep that night. The song later became a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. This performance is from a concert at the Academy of Music, a beautiful venue in Northampton, Massachusetts, during Django in June 2025.

Hey Everyone! Two days ago I recorded two solo guitar singles — no cuts, no edits, just raw takes heavily influenced by guitarists who shaped me: Joe Pass, Kosta Lukacs, and of course Django Reinhardt. 🎸 I'll be releasing them this summer, the first being a Django Reinhardt classic dropping June 25th — the opening day of the Festival Django Reinhardt in Fontainebleau. 🎶 I wanted to release music that is human, because we're missing a lot of that these days. If you're interested in saving the release date, comment "Nuages" below — it would mean the world to me! https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/jimmygrant/nuages
