Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli collaborated between 1935 and 1946 to make beautiful, dense guitar music on PLATINUM COLLECTION: GRAPPELLI WITH THE QUINTET OF THE HOT CLUB OF FRANCE.
Django Reinhardt's extraordinary contribution to the art of jazz improvisation is documented within a musical legacy consisting of literally hundreds of recordings made between 1928 and 1953. Under the heading of The Platinum Collection, 40 selected titles from this massive discography were assembled by the Start label in 2004, predating EMI's identically titled 60-track anthology by four years. Start's approach was to spotlight Reinhardt's collaborative friendship with violinist St‚phane Grappelli while focusing mainly upon the records they cut together during the late '30s. Anyone wishing to investigate with greater thoroughness has multiple chronologically sequenced collections to choose from. Recommended labels in that realm include Classics, EMI, JSP, Naxos, and Fremeaux & Associes. Start's double-disc sampler will work nicely as an easy introduction to the stimulating pleasantries of Gypsy swing. ~ arwulf arwulf
