This volume gathers together and organizes in an easily accessible
format all known information relevant to the life and work of the
French jazz musician Django Reinhardt. Together with fellow
musician, Stephane Grappelli, Reinhardt became one of the twentieth
century's most celebrated jazz artists with performances he gave as
part of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. Essentially
discographical in format, this book updates the original work
compiled by Charles Delauney in 1960, and draws on later work by
Gould, Nevers, Royal and Rust, to detail all known recordings by
Reinhardt, together with known film, radio and television
appearances. For each entry Paul Vernon provides, where known, the
location of the recording, the date, the artist credit as it
appears on the label of the original issue, the performers and the
instruments played by them, the matrix number, the exact timing of
the recording and details of 78, LP, EP and CD issues. Interspersed
at the appropriate chronological points are biographical details
about Reinhardt and the political, social and cultural climate of
his time. This is augmented with excerpts from reviews, letters and
other documents to provide a vivid context for his recording work.
