Djangologie 20 CD Boxset

delb0y

Very slowly (because I keep playing individual CDs over and over) working my way through this box set, So far as I know it's a re-issue of EMI albums from way back. For some reason that I can't explain I'm working my way from the last disc backwards (the same way I read a newspaper) and I'm really enjoying Django's electric era which is new to me.

Don't know much about the sessions - the writing's too small for me to read and it's all in French, but what wonderful music.

That's great to hear. Don't forget the Djangologie doesn't have >it all< so there's still things to listen to! You're still missing 1951, 1952 and 1953 since it only goes to 1950. The box set is cheap and the recordings are good quality.

There's more of electric django in 1951, 1952 and 1953 including two performances with a symphonic orchestra, two live concerts with two different big bands and two live sessions totalling 9 tunes in a club setting. Otherwise there's electric Django in late 1946 (Duke Ellington), in 1947, in late 1949 and in 1950.
