Music reviews of The Best of Django Reinhardt
Music Review: A good summary of a legend's work
Rating: 4 Stars
I am not an expert of Django's style of music, but have become a fan after seeing "Sweet & Lowdown". He really is unique in his approach to the guitar... now I know why Chet Atkins, Les Paul, and others sought out his recordings in their formative years.
Description of The Best of Django Reinhardt
Django Reinhardt was both the first great jazz-guitar soloist and the first European jazz musician to have a significant influence on American musicians. Just as Earl Hines had found a way to transfer Louis Armstrong's assertive solo style to the piano, Reinhardt did it with the acoustic guitar, mixing inventive melodic improvisation with a decorative gypsy-guitar idiom and vigorous rhythm. He did it most often with the Hot Club of France, a quintet including violinist Stephane Grappelli, two rhythm guitarists, and a bassist that created its own distinctive style, a lightly propulsive mix that was an ideal setting for Django's mix of drive, invention, and charm. The recordings here range from 1936 to 1948 and showcase Reinhardt with the Hot Club, clarinetist Hubert Rostaing, and trumpeter Rex Stewart. Included is a brilliant solo performance of his "Naguine." It's an excellent introduction to one of the most original voices in jazz of the period, to a fine composer as well as a unique guitarist. --Stuart BroomerGeneral CDs
