For Django is an album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass that contains renditions of compositions famously interpreted by, written about or written for Django Reinhardt.[1]

Reception

In his Allmusic review, critic Scott Yanow wrote that the album was long considered a classic and that "Although Pass was actually more strongly influenced by Charlie Christian than by Reinhardt and he had already formed his own style, he has no difficulty fitting into the music."
