Lyrics from The Quintet of the Hot Club of France
All Music Guide Review
Django Reinhardt may indeed be the father of modern swing and jazz guitar playing, and this record certainly proves that. Recorded throughout the late '30s and early '40s with the excellent Le Hot Club of France, the recordings here comprise an excellent archival presentation and are astounding. Reinhardt floats and stings his way through 12 compositions. Aside from Reinhardt's revolutionary technique and pyrotechnics -- virtually templates for modern guitar playing -- Stéphane Graphalli's sweet fiddle graces all of the tunes like honey on butter. Le Hot Club are equally impressive as well, especially the cello playing. Although these recordings span a long period of time when recording techniques were primitive, to say the least, there is a wonderful, homogeneous feel to the entire album that makes it joyous from start to finish. ~ Matthew Greenwald, All Music Guide
