(3 out of 5 stars)

"These sessions are presented as being "remastered from original master tapes", but it simply isn't true. Disk one, "Django", is 1937 Hot Club sessions--which were not recorded to tape, but direct to 78 rpm masters. The material is all available in the JSP box set "Classic Early Recordings" at much higher sound quality.The second disk is material from the time as RCA "Djangology" sessions. Some of this material can be found on "The Indispensible Django Reinhardt 1949-1950" The playing is excellent, especially the six tracks with Grappelli. The remaining seven tracks feature an adequate Italian rhythm section
and Andre Ekyan on clarinet. Again, the material is plagued by surface noise not found on magnetic tape. There are some good things here, but the listener seeking good late performances by Django would be better served in every way by the RCA "Djangology" release and "Peche ala Mouche"."

Great collection

"This is a great CD to have. There are some strange moments where Django departs from his usual technique. Especially on "The Peanut Vendor", he starts doing these slow dissonant florishes. Grappelli does some wierd stuff on that number as well. The rest of the album has that hard raw swing to it that we all love."
