Webster is a Django Reinhardt tune from the late 1940s, dating to around 1948–49. It is not named after a saxophonist; the likely explanation, cited in the Complete Django book, is that Django chose the name after a tape recorder he bought during that period. Django even recorded a Brussels concert in 1948 with his Webster, and the piece sits in his Gypsy Jazz (Jazz Manouche) repertoire from that era. The exact album and release year aren’t specified in the available material, but Webster adds to Django’s collection of tunes with intriguing backstories tied to his equipment and studio experiments.
