Django Reinhardt - Swing De Paris (4CD Box Set, 2003)

Today, nearly after fifty years after his death, Django Reinhardt's guitar artistry continues to amaze both fans and fellow musician's. This box give 103 reasons for this continuous adulation. Spanning 1934-1952, we include legendary sessions with the Quintets du Hot Club de France along with tracks from dates with Coleman Hawkins' All Star Jam Band, Bill Coleman and his orchestra, his involvement with the Glenn Miller All Stars and of course many with Stephane Grappelli with and without the Quintets. This 4 CD set shows what a giant he was and why he is such a huge influence on all guitarists playing whatever style.
