Check out the superb GJ soundtrack by Sebastien Giniaux for BBC 4 TV Documentary(shown tonight) about Pastry making in France(?!)-"Kings of Pastry"-- including an absolutely fantastic reharmonised version of "Echoes of France".
Its SO rare to hear really good GJ used as background on the TV--usually its just Ovation driven "Country&Western assaults Django"' nonsense.
Also featured is Djangos "Menilmontant","World is waiting for the sunrise" and "Speevy"--my god i reckon Djangos owed a bit in royalties from these endless Francophile programmes Anyway excellent viewing/listening all round.
