DJANGO REINHARDT

Django Reinhardt – Djangologie 1928-1950 Vol. 01-Vol. 20 [2009] (20 x CD's)

Djangologie was the first, and best, thoughtful collection originally issued 40 years ago on Vinyl by EMI, who's studios rendered Django's best quality recordings. Django Reinhardt recorded prolifically in many different group settings over 4 decades. It's difficult to know where to start or where to go once you've gotten started collecting a few of his recordings. 

The 20 x CD Djangologie box set is the place to go once you've decided to take the plunge into Django's music. It covers all 4 decades chronologically, but rather than trying to comprehensively collect all of Django's recordings (including all of the ones where he is a sideman in dance bands etc) it largely concentrates on the Quintette and other small group recordings, which is what most people want to hear. The sound quality is very good and relatively consistent throughout the collection. There is a minimum of tape hiss, clicks and pops. The sound mastering hasn't overemphasized any portion of the audio spectrum and has instead gone for a balanced group sound.  Highly recommended if you want to get serious about listening to Django without all of the confusion that comes from piecing together smaller complilations. 

There are 277 tracks on 20 Cd's of Django Reinhardt, almost 14 hours of playing time, limited to 500 copies. It is a CD reissue of all original Django Reinhardt vinyl albums by the french label Pathé (Djangologie Vol.01-20). The layout of the box is quite basic, the discs are packed in simple cardboard sleeves, which are replicas of the original vinyl album covers. All relevant track information is listed on the backsides and the order of the tracks is strictly chronological. Fitting the basic approach, there is no booklet included. Technically it's top-notch, with 64 bit audio processing being used. (Amazon)

An exceptional reissue!
