Place de Brouckère is a Gypsy Jazz tune written by Django Reinhardt in the 1940s and named after the lively Place de Brouckère square in Brussels. It appears on Django Reinhardt’s recordings from that era and was later issued on a 2004 remastered CD titled Place de Brouckère as part of the Jazz In Paris reissues. The piece is known for its swinging gypsy guitar style and showcases Reinhardt’s virtuosity on the guitar. Modern interpretations include Joscho Stephan Trio’s version, featuring Joscho Stephan, Sven Jungbeck, and Volker Kamp, which keeps the tune alive for new audiences.
