Music reviews of The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order
Music Review: This is THE definitive Django Reinhardt
Rating: 5 Stars
There are legendary duo's in the artistic world whose orbits seem to converge from time to time in an extraordinary and synergistic way: Van Gogh and Gauguin, Simon & Garfunkle, Martin and Lewis. This set captures just such a covergence between Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli at the zenith of the Parisian jazz explosion of the 1930's.
It's an extraordinary collection, lovingly remastered by Ted Kendall, and presented in chronological order so you can hear the Django jazz experience meld and mature.
This was the ONLY thing my wife actually wanted for Christmas and evil spouse that I am, I made her wade through all the other doo-dads and gee-gaws before I let her open this. She's still smiling. I guess that says it all.
Description of The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order
This wonderful five-disc box is an indispensable collection of prewar, prebop jazz that belongs in the company of your finest Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Benny Goodman sets. Technically, this isn't a true box set--it merely collects five single-disc compilations under one slipcase--but it is infinitely rewarding nonetheless. Disheartened by what he thought were sonically subpar Reinhardt collections, Ted Kendall undertook an ambitious mission to find the best original sources for this classic material and then meticulously remastered them. He wisely opted to leave in some of the surface noise to maintain the clarity and integrity of the music. And what glorious, jubilant music it is! Dating to the very first Quintet of the Hot Club of France sessions in September 1934 (before they'd even established that moniker), the collection includes all the landmark recordings Reinhardt made for Ultraphone, Decca (its English and French labels), and HMV up through the Quintet's 1939 breakup on the eve of World War II. Reinhardt's guitar work is spirited and adventurous throughout--lightning-quick runs, insistent rhythm work, and hybrid "riffs" that seem to split the difference. Nearly all the cuts feature the elegant but vivacious violin work of his most famous foil, Stephane Grappelli, who certainly deserves co-billing on the set. The way the two feed off each other's energy is magical. Despite their well-documented personality clashes, the twosome remains perhaps the most synergistic in jazz history, constantly engaging in their incredible cat-and-mouse games. Often overlooked are the songwriting talents of the two musicians, who contributed several standards to the jazz canon. Though mostly focused on the Quintet recordings, the set detours for such oddities as a pair of solo Reinhardt cuts from 1937 and collaborations with Coleman Hawkins. Simply delightful from beginning to end. --Marc GreilsamerGeneral CDs
