Jazz Blues at its best This is a wonderful introdution to the great guitarist as he plays some classic pieces such as Septermber Song, Brazil and Blues Primitif. Paris was the place to be before and after WWII, and Jazz in Paris captures some of those immortal moments such as Django's Blues. The disc is divided into two performances at the Le Quintette de Hot Club in 1947, with his brother Joseph joining him on the second set on rhythm guitar. The series is beautifully packaged and you will love checking out the many other titles such as Django and Company, which includes Stephane Grappelli.
Incredible Guitarist
Django played guitar in his own style and rhythm as he was caught in fire when he was 18 years old. Django Reinhardt is an incredible guitarist and probably the most rated Gypsy Jazz player. The doctors tried to ampute his hand but he denies it. On that time, Django was presented with a guitar which have shown him the light of success. If you are into Jazz and love Swing music, then you can buy this one. This is a nice album.
