Great Collection
This is a great introduction to the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli (or Grappelly, as they spell it on the disc...for some reason). Some great recordings of Django and Grapelli are on this compilation, including: Honeysuckle Rose, Sweet Georgia Brown, Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away, and a guitar solo "Improvisation No. 2." Half of the songs are originals by Reinhard and Grapelli, and the rest are standards. This music is a legendary part of jazz history, and the collection comprises 20 great tracks that are great for a beginning listener or an old fan. I have loved this music for years, and didn't have any of their recordings. I picked this up second hand and it is a great compilation. I would recommend picking this up if you don't have much (or any) Django or Grappelli, it's hard to find a compilation that's as comprehensive as this, for the price.

Hot! Hot! Hot!
This cd features guitar great Django Reinhardt and his longtime musical partner, violinist Stephane Grappelly in a variety of settings, chiefly a quintet. Few guitarists combined techncal dexterity with a fertile musical imagination and sense of swing like Django. His solo lines are as thrilling and lightning quick as any Charlie Parker solo, and his sound is packed with a bright tone, sharp attack, and subtle vibrato that is instantly recognizable. Complimented by the more laidback, cooler Grappelly, the two swing through the 20 tracks and leave you breathless, check out Grappelly's hot solo supported by Django's on frenetic chording on "My Sweet". Every cut is a brilliant performance that holds up under multiple listenings. This cd is as suited to the newcomer as it is to the long time fan and is highly recommended.
