This attractive two-LP set from French RCA in their Jazz Tribute series has 22 of the titles that guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli recorded together in Italy in 1949 during their final reunion on records. The two-fer overlaps the Bluebird CD to an extent but also has nine songs played in a 1950 quintet with altoist Andre Ekyan. These superlative performances demonstrate that Reinhardt, although not as popular in this late stage of his life, never really declined and was very open to the innovations of bop. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
