Django was in his final weeks when he made this beautiful recording. He had seemingly fallen out of love with music, or with performance, in the post-war period and gained a reputation for unreliability. But there were signs that his old fire was coming back. He made his peace with the electric guitar and began showing an interest in the then-dominant style of bebop, but without ever compromising the beautyof his unique musical vision.” Produced under the wing of the great producer Norman Granz, and featuring an exceptional quintet, this Parisian recording stands out for the exceptional quality of the music, which Django Reinhardt brought to new heights of expressiveness. 1.
