DJANGO REINHARDT
And His American Friends: Complete Sessions 1934-1945
Spain import Four (4) Compact Disc (4 CD) box set. Definitive Records DRCD 11167 R. Mono, compilation reissue. CASE & INSERTS: strong VG++. DISCS: NM.
Spanning four discs with 102 tracks from 1934-1945, this set has EVERY track that Django has ever played on with either an American led band or a band with an American soloist (or both) between 1934-1945. You won't find any QHCF recordings here, yet what is here is just as remarkable. The sound quality is fine overall and the tracks have Django playing in a variety of settings: small group, orchestra, big band, etc. Many thanks to whoever it was at Definitive Records that put considerable care into assembling and programming this set..
