Our Take

"DJANGO REINHARDT The Quintessence: Paris-Bruxelles 1934-1943 is a deliciously smooth jazz journey through time, showcasing the unparalleled talent of the legendary guitarist. From the moment the first note hits your ears, you're transported to the bustling streets of Paris and Brussels, where Reinhardt's guitar licks dance effortlessly around your every sense.

The album is a true testament to Reinhardt's mastery of the guitar, with each track showcasing his impeccable technique and unparalleled creativity. From the dizzying solos on "Nuages" to the infectious swing of "Minor Swing," every moment on this record is a sheer delight.

But what truly sets DJANGO REINHARDT The Quintessence apart is the sheer joy and exuberance that radiates from every note. It's impossible not to tap your foot or nod your head along to the infectious rhythms that pour forth from the speakers.

In a world filled with soulless music, DJANGO REINHARDT The Quintessence is a breath of fresh air - a reminder of the power of true talent and passion. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the music of Django Reinhardt whisk you away to a bygone era of jazz magic. 5/5 stars."

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.
