Album Description
Between dozens of recordings made from 1937 to 1950, legendary French gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt waxed one, maybe two titlesof solo guitar per year. Often it was less than that. Sometimes he made them at the request of the producers, who surely heard him warming up and decided to capture on records some of that magic atmosphere.Then Django took his instrument and performed whatever was on his mind: in occasions fully developed solo compositions; another times, instantly made up improvisations. This outstanding CD comprises them all for the first time in chronological order, including some very rare tracks and a recently discovered solo from a radio program as a bonus track. Definitive. 2005.

Customer Reviews

in solitaire: complete recordings for solo guitar
all you have to say is django. he was the best. it came as advertised and on time

If this is indeed the track listing, then this CD is NOT the complete solo recordings (I don't actually own it)-Django also did a solo version of 'Tea for Two', which is on many other Django compilations, and can be heard here:

. . . Just thought it was important to note.

CD for guitar players
As a guitar player I can really appreciate this CD. Listening to Django just playing by himself is wonderous and amazing.
