CD Reviews

A Guitar Hero For Ever
Alan J. Wood | Sydney, NSW Australia | 10/02/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here we have Django beautifully packaged in a boxed set of three cds together with a well researched booklet (in French and English) giving details of the tracks and containing many photographs of Django playing a number of different guitars or in the company of musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie.
Much of the music moves away from the 'Gypsy Jazz with violin' formula and enters areas which Benny Goodman and Charlie Christian explored.
This is a wonderful survey of Django's pre and post war work and is a 'must have' item for those who love Django and guitar jazz."
