Django Reinhardt

[carvinman1]

I have heard just enough of Django Reinhardt's music to want to buy some of it. Does anybody have any recommendations on a particular CD? Thanks for your help.

You should listen to Hot Club of France Recordings from 1935 - 38. This box set looks very interesting:

(I'm going to put it on my Half.com wishlist)

this one is the basic recording, and its really cheap. I think I'll buy a copy myself ;)

This looks like the right stuff too:

There appears to be a lot of material out on CD now, but you won't go wrong with any of these.

happy listening!
