2 of my favorites that have some of the elements of Django in their playing:

Bireli Lagrene & John Jorgenson.

For 1947 Django you can't beat Philippe Nedjar - https://youtu.be/Ux5fTUzjG28?si=W_IeJzqLNFY__nRg&t=83

and for early Django - Duved Dunayevsky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hagTsNFehiY

For the best Django covers - without a doubt Antonis Arfanis https://www.youtube.com/@AntonisArfanis/videos

And for this, looks like most of us agree on Duved Dunayevsky.
