DJANGOLOGY - ROME 1949 (vinyl)

Description

Benefitting from exceptional sound quality due to the most modern remastering techniques, the reissues of Django Reinhardt's work by Label Ouest have established themselves as the most recent major work dedicated to the music of the brilliant Gypsy. From this reference collection, praised by the press (ChocJazz Magazine, Must TSF Jazz...), we now offer the quintessence, through a series of four albums, published for the first time on vinyl. Reinhardt and Grappelli's 1949 sessions in Rome constitute both the very last recording encounter of the two masters of European jazz and Django's ultimate recorded testimony on acoustic guitar. Accompanied by Italian pianist Gianni Safred's trio, the two artists, at the height of their maturity and complicity, have rarely expressed themselves with such brilliance and generosity. Here they offer new interpretations of some of their "classics" (Djangology, Minor Swing, Daphné...), feature some of their more recent creations (Troublant Boléro, Webster...), while paying a superb tribute to French chanson (Ménilmontant, La Mer, Où es-tu mon amour ?...). Imperious and definitive! The retrospective of Django Reinhardt's work, released in a series of box sets between 2015 and 2022, has become a benchmark collection praised by the press (Choc Jazz Magazine, Must TSF Jazz...), offering the best of Django with the best sound. Find the quintessence of this work through this series of vinyls, benefiting from exceptional sound quality thanks to the remastering work carried out.
