Django
Reinhardt Sessions and Discography
1949 - '53
Rome
1949
The
Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli reunion in January and
February of 1949 is incredible. It is still that some
wonderful combination of Stephane and Django soloing, but with a
different instrumental approach. This line-up features piano, drums,
and bass, resulting into a more of a rag-time sound. The
Fremeaux series contains all of the material, but six songs that were not
released, supposedly due to quality. Vol. 16 has 13
tracks, Vol. 17 has 40, and it concludes on Vol. 18 with 11 tracks.
March
10, 1953
Excluding solo sessions
Django's music typically included two or more soloists. One
exception is March 10, 1953 session, where Django is the is the only soloist. Sure there
are a few instances when Django would wipe the sweat from his palm
after a ferocious solo, where the pianist would fill the space
briefly. Beside that, it is all Django.
This
session is a one-of-a-kind, and showcases Django on electric guitar
with a solid back-up unit and nobody to share the spotlight with.
