The Best of Django Reinhardt

Amazon.com
Django Reinhardt was both the first great jazz-guitar soloist and the first European jazz musician to have a significant influence on American musicians. Just as Earl Hines had found a way to transfer Louis Armstrong's assertive solo style to the piano, Reinhardt did it with the acoustic guitar, mixing inventive melodic improvisation with a decorative gypsy-guitar idiom and vigorous rhythm. He did it most often with the Hot Club of France, a quintet including violinist Stephane Grappelli, two rhythm guitarists, and a bassist that created its own distinctive style, a lightly propulsive mix that was an ideal setting for Django's mix of drive, invention, and charm. The recordings here range from 1936 to 1948 and showcase Reinhardt with the Hot Club, clarinetist Hubert Rostaing, and trumpeter Rex Stewart. Included is a brilliant solo performance of his "Naguine." It's an excellent introduction to one of the most original voices in jazz of the period, to a fine composer as well as a unique guitarist. --Stuart Broomer

The Best of Django Reinhardt.......2007-05-15

This man is brilliant. However, after listening, it is not my style of jazz...which does not reflect on this man's genius.

A definite must have!.......2007-05-13

Django is truly a legend for early jazz. His guitar style is unmatched by any other guitarist. What makes him even more unique is that he lost two finders in a fire saving his family, and instead of quiting, he found a style where he could play chords and scales with 2 fingers that other guitarists struggle doing with 4.
This CD is my favorite. It compiles a lot of his best work and the sound quality is really good. Some of his other recordings are rather rough due to the technology back in the 1930s, but this CD is mastered well.
I bought this again after I lost my original while on vacation. This CD will always be in my collection.

Timeless.......2007-02-28

This is an excellent sampler of the work of great Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. The collection has crisp sound and is full of great performances. Besides having a dazzling technique, Reinhardt swung with wild abandon and played from the heart. The selections included in this set are nothing short of timeless classics.

Brilliant.......2007-01-30

Obviously a little dated and if you are not used to listening to this kind of music may be a little tough to get through the entire CD in one setting. However, if you appreciate find playing by a skillful, pioneering musician this one is well worth owning.

One word: WOW!!!!.......2006-12-26

I first heard of Django Reinhardt from the admiration of Ardvit in the movie "Swing Kids" (great movie if you haven't seen it). This CD is amazing. It is especially wowing to hear it knowing that Django played without the use of two of his fingers, which were tragically injured early in his life. I have often been concerned about the musical quality of older recordings, but this CD has absolutely no signs of distortion or lack of quality. First rate recording. Django plays amazingly quick and clear rifts that are astounding. He is joined in many of the recordings by Stephane Grappelli on the violin. Grappelli was one of the few that could match Django, and they play off each other wonderfully.

I highly recommend this CD to any lover of Jazz and/or Swing music.
