Our Take

Ho ho ho, it's time to jingle all the way with Django Reinhardt's Christmas Swing extravaganza in Integrale Vol 7! This festive collection from 1937-1938 is like a snowball to the face in the best possible way - full of energy, charm, and enough swing to rival Santa's sleigh bells.

Reinhardt's signature gypsy jazz style is on full display here, with his nimble fingers dancing across the fretboard like a sugar-addled elf on Christmas Eve. Tracks like "Noël Blues" and "Swing de Paris" will have you tapping your toes and reaching for the mulled wine quicker than you can say "Merry Christmas!"

The album is a veritable winter wonderland of musical delights, with guest appearances from the likes of Stephane Grappelli and the Quintette du Hot Club de France adding an extra sprinkle of magic to the mix. It's like a Christmas party in your ears, with Reinhardt as the ultimate host, leading the festivities with his virtuosic guitar playing.

So grab a candy cane, hang up your stocking, and let Django Reinhardt's Christmas Swing take you on a musical sleigh ride like no other. It's the perfect soundtrack for your holiday celebrations, guaranteed to bring a touch of swingin' joy to even the grinchiest of hearts. Merry Christmas, music lovers!

About the artist

Various

Hailing from Belgium, Django Reinhardt is a pioneering figure in the world of jazz music. His unique blend of swing and gypsy influences has captivated audiences around the globe, earning him a reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists of the 20th century. Reinhardt's signature style, characterized by blistering fast solos and intricate chord progressions, was a far cry from the traditional jazz sound of his time. Despite being severely injured in a fire that left him with only the use of two fingers on his left hand, Reinhardt defied the odds and continued to play with unparalleled skill and dexterity. With his Hot Club of France recordings, Reinhardt helped popularize the concept of "hot" jazz, a style that emphasized improvisation and virtuosity. His collaborations with violinist Stéphane Grappelli produced some of the most iconic jazz recordings of the era, showcasing Reinhardt's unmatched ability to fuse tradition with innovation. Reinhardt's influence can be heard in the work of countless musicians, from rock legends like Jimi Hendrix to contemporary jazz artists like John Scofield. His legacy lives on through his extensive discography, which continues to inspire and amaze listeners to this day. So, whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or just a casual music fan looking to expand your horizons, Django Reinhardt's timeless recordings are a must-listen for anyone with an ear for innovation and passion in music. Sit back, relax, and let the magic of Django's guitar take you on a journey through the rich history of jazz.
