Description
Fifty years after his death, Django Reinhardt's guitar artistry continues to amaze both fans and fellow musicians. This box set gives 103 reasons for this continuous adulation. Spanning 1934-1952 we include legendary sessions with the Quintette du Hot Club de France along with tracks from dates with Coleman Hawkins' All Star Jam Band, Bill Coleman and his orchestra, his involvement with The Glenn Miller All Stars and of course many with Stephane Grappelli with and without the Quintette. Django was an improviser of genius, the art of spontaneous music making was part of his native gypsy tradition, this 4 CD set shows what a giant he was and why he is such a huge influence on all guitarists playing whatever style.
