A MONUMENT! FINALLY AVAILABLE ON VINYLTHE BIRTH CERTIFICATE OF EUROPEAN JAZZ.Centered on the year 1937, this first vinyl is dedicated to the golden age of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli's Hot Club de France string quintet. On the occasion of the Universal Exhibition in Paris, the Hot Club de France Quintet took off and became a prominent group, both for the originality of its music and for the quality of the soloists who animated it. Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli then established themselves as the masters of a new form of "string" jazz and as the two greatest figures of European jazz.Emblematic of this period, 'Minor Swing' became the legendary hit of the famous Quintet.As an unprecedented bonus, 'Casanova,' Django Reinhardt's last recording before his 1928 accident, is entirely new to vinyl."This landmark work sends Django and his friend Stéphane directly into the jazz pantheon!" (Didier Lockwood)
