Gitane is an album by American jazz bassist Charlie Haden and French gypsy jazz guitarist Christian Escoudé, released in 1979. Most of the album's compositions were written by guitarist Django Reinhardt.
The Globe and Mail wrote that Haden "is in fact slow a-finger; by emphasis and omission he makes each note count... Once, and finally, he gets the music moving—the tune is Django's 'Dinette'—Escoude comes to life, and Reinhardt with him."[1]
The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick stated: "A warm, unhurried session, one that Haden fans will enjoy for both his prominence and creativity as well as for Escoude's carefully considered contributions".[2]
