Django Reinhardt's solo on "Shine" was one of his finest to that point in his career.
In it, he forms a direct link to Wes Montgomery by using a similar concept in building his solo. Montgomery was fond of starting a solo with single lines, taking the next chorus in octaves and finishing
with block chords. Reinhardt's concept of solo construction was actually more complex than Montgomery's, but one suspects that Montgomery heard this recording and learned a lot from it. Here,
Reinhardt plays in single lines throughout the first chorus and moves to octaves at the beginning of the second. The block chords don't come in until the end as Reinhardt is accompanying Grappelli.
Although the building blocks are similar, the overall effect is different. As Reinhardt gained more experience, he became an expert in pacing his solos so they would make sense as a musical entity.
Instinctively, he seemed to know the precise moment where block chords would properly set off his single lines.
His mastery of pacing keeps our ears riveted to the guitarist in solo after solo. Another highlight of the solo occurs in the 12th -14th bars as Reinhardt blurs the lines by spontaneously turning a single line into a blistering run.
In the final choruses, Reinhardt and Grappelli are basically a duet with the rest of the band humming along in the background.
Reinhardt had refined his accompanying style, retaining its active stance in the music, but not stealing the spotlight away from Grappelli.
