Django Reinhardt on CD
I can not think of a musical artist that has had
their catalog of material issued and reissued as many times of
Django Reinhardt. It can get confusing trying to sift through
the maze of what is available and what his best recordings
are. Not to mention that so many titles go out of print, but
with on-line distribution, second hand copies can often be purchased
from Amazon.com.
Some of the box set
releases offer excellent value. The best is the box set
Djangology; ten discs for around
$20.
The primary packaging of Django's
catalogue is:
 |
Compilations - For the casual fan or an orientation. |
|
Box Sets - Great values and provide a foundation to build a
collection. |
|
Niches - A release of specific sessions by style of music, music
label, etc. |
|
Series' - The most comprehensive way to collect Django music
such as the:
Fremeaux -
The most comprehensive release.
Classic
- This series has great material material 1934 - 1947.
JSP - This
is now packaged as two box sets; both great values. |
The JSP release is more of
a series than a box set, because its material is basically a
chronological release of complete sessions. The Classic Early
Recordings in Chronological Order Vol. 1 focuses primarily
on the Quintet Hot Club material with Stephane Grappelli. The
second edition, Paris
and London: 1937-1948, Vol. 2, offers a more balanced
overview as it includes plenty of different personnel line-ups.

The Very Best of 1934-1939 - Two
discs - great value
Jazz Masters has a superb
variety. The emphasis is on Hot Club, but there's more. It
also includes the soft ballad "Vous et moi," the
electric "Night and Day" from 1953, brilliant, as
well as a big band sampler with "Djangology."
