I like this colourization because far too often people choose blue for his jacket because of that one photo session, when in fact Django rarely wore the same clothes and had a constantly changing wardrobe.

And someone at Hal Leonard chose blue when colorizing this DVD cover.

This is the best I've seen. Thanks for posting!
Well done!
Ok, that’s it!
Damn the consequences!
I’m going down to the thrift shop and find an old brown herringbone jacket just like Django’s...
I think it’s exactly what a Pope or even a self-respecting High Priest should wear...
Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."
This is also the best one I've seen. Excellent job!
@SimonHurley is the highest resolution, and/or do you have an uncompressed file avail? I'd like to get it printed into a poster.
Looks like he is going to jump right out of the screen and launch into a solo! Well done.
So he wasn't blond and blue-eyed?
Very nice colourization! Here's a poster from Django in June from a few years ago that also has a nice colourization. Cheers!

@SimonHurley If you're interested to do another, this is a high-res one - and he actually plays his selmer guitar not some random guitar 👍
