Our Take

Gather round, music aficionados, because we're diving headfirst into the swinging world of Django Reinhardt in "The Django Reinhardt Collection 1935-1946." This box set is a treasure trove of the legendary jazz guitarist's work, showcasing his unparalleled talent and influence on the genre.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky Parisian jazz club, where Reinhardt's nimble fingers dance across the strings, conjuring up melodies that are as playful as they are captivating. Tracks like "Minor Swing" and "Nuages" are prime examples of Reinhardt's virtuosity, with their complex chord progressions and lightning-fast solos.

But it's not all smooth sailing in this collection. Some of the recordings suffer from less-than-ideal sound quality, which can be a bit of a buzzkill for audiophiles. However, if you can look past the occasional crackle and pop, you'll be rewarded with some truly iconic music that has stood the test of time.

Overall, "The Django Reinhardt Collection 1935-1946" is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to Reinhardt's music, this box set is sure to have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in appreciation. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Django's timeless tunes transport you to a bygone era of musical brilliance. Cheers to that!

About the artist

Django Reinhardt

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.
