Music reviews of The Quintessential Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli: Quintette Du Hot Club De France (25 Classics 1934-1940)
Music Review: Maybe the best guitarist who ever played
Rating: 5 Stars
If you like virtuoso jazz guitar and violin, old swing tunes, amazing acoustic guitar playing, or just great music in general, don't miss a chance to hear Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. When the Hot Club of France was formed in the 1930s, nobody had ever played quite like this before, and nobody has since (though many have tried). Probably the reason they aren't better known today is, first of all, because they played in Europe and never really entered the mainstream of American jazz, and also because until recently their remarkable music was available only on relatively poor-quality LPs and old 78s. In recent years, however, the wonders of digital remastering have brought these wonderful old tunes back to life, and a whole new audience can marvel at their virtuosity. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of Reinhardt and Grappelli's CDs, because their music is consistently excellent, but this one has a fine selection of songs and is a good place to start for someone who isn't already familiar with these amazing musicians. One thing I have to mention, though, is that the editorial review (by Jazziz) refers to a "6-CD set," which is apparently a different compilation. This is just a single CD, although there's quite a lot of music packed into it. If you're already hooked on Reinhardt and Grappelli and are ready for a boxed set, JSP's 5-CD set (The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order) and 4-CD set (Paris and London) are both excellent. No matter how much you listen to this music, it seems almost impossible to get tired of it.
