While they were there they recorded about 50 tunes with an Italian rhythm section, and although they didn't know it at the time, these sessions marked the last time the Gypsy guitarist and the French violinist recorded together. This CD collects 23 of the best tracks from those final sessions, including versions of Hot Club standards like "Minor Swing," "Bricktop," and "Swing 42." Reinhardt and Grappelli don't try to recreate the raucous swing of their earlier collaborations, opting instead for an intriguing blend of romantic, almost classical melodic soloing and bebop-tinged harmonies and rhythms. The attempt doesn't always succeed, primarily because the three musicians on drums, bass, and piano are clearly out of their depth. But when the two masters click, as they do on "I Got Rhythm," they demonstrate an eagerness to explore the new musical possibilities offered by postwar jazz. Sadly Reinhardt died not long after he returned from Italy, so he and Grappelli were never able to continue their musical exploration, leaving the music on Djangology as a final farewell to one of the great partnerships in jazz. --Michael Simmons Review: "Django playing like a genius again!!!!" - I had an LP with this same title many years ago and somehow it got lost thru the years.This last meeting of Django and Grappelli in the studio showed how they both had evolved as players over time and being apart for a long time.As is usual,Django overshadows everybody else who's playing by his forceful rhythym playing and genius level lead lines.For anyone who may not know,Django had only the functional use of his first two fingers on his left(fretting) hand due to an accidental injury to his hand when he was in his teens.He made up for this handicap with absolutely brilliant playing with the digits he had left.I recognised some licks that he had played on some of the songs recorded many years earlier,but you can hear some bebopish note choices that he used very tastefully on this record. As for Grappelli,his tone and pleasing lead lines is very enjoyable to listen to-as always.For this record,he and Django can still play the unison parts much like I imagine that they had worked out a decade or more earlier.There's never a mistake that this is Django's record,but Steph seems to have a bigger part of this group than the old Hot Club days.I saw Steph in Dallas live one time,and it was one of the highlights of my life. Just a few words on the bass,drums and piano player on this session.In some places I've seen where these guys were described as weak players barely able to keep up.I disagree...these guys were in the presence of greatness and were most likely totally intimidated by Django and Steph.I think they did a more than good job as accommpaniment for Django and Steph. Anyhow, my two cents and I highly recommend this CD.Thanks. Review: What need be said... - For me, the Greatest Jazz Guitarist, ever. Yes, I am a lover and student of various Jazz Eras. Django Began in the mid 30's and Passed away in the early 50's. Very little filmed performance, but this stunningly fast, great improvisational playing set the Jazz world afire. All this, with only the use of 2 fingers on his fret hand. He had been in a horrible fire, which fused his ring and pinkie finger together, so he was left with his index and middle finger to play riffs and songs that still baffle the tops in Jazz guitar....How with only 2 fingers, playing better than anyone had heard was possible, added more to his legend. People can replicate his songs now (with all their fingers), but they can never write a song like "Nuages", and they don't have the deft touch on standards like "Sweet Georgia Brown", and "I'll See You in my Dreams" like Django. This collection has every tune to get a person started down the road to learning about one of the true greats, or to replace lost wax. It comes with a CD of the same music, and a selection of postcards with Django, and full band Portraits. Also, it is pressed with a lot of dead wax in the centre, avoiding inner groove distortion, how could you ask for more?

Tres' Bien!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Jazz *by J***N on June 10, 2014* A great addition to my jazz collection & it will enter into heavy rotation. The record came with a CD but I wish it also had the autorip feature. Overall, I would say that you will get your money's worth out of this album. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/46606588-djangology](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/46606588-djangology) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
