Django Bates - Tenacity - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

(2-CD Set) The legendary Django Reinhardt appears on an AVID for the second time, here featuring his electric period. Focusing on his music after 1947 when he returned from the USA having played with Duke Ellington, we also include a valuable recording made at the RDF radio studios possibly for a film soundtrack and skillfully re-mastered by AVID's own sound engineers. Django's music in the 1950's underwent many changes as witnessed among these tracks. We travel through small group swing to bebop influenced modern harmonic and rhythmically conceptual pieces, urgent, wild and frantic as detected in his amazing guitar playing! Album Tracks 1.

2019 BRAND NEW Best Of COLLECTION - 38 TRACKS (30 previously unreleased in North America) INCLUDING THE BEST OF HIS SOLO AND DUET RECORDINGS. In 1949, Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli reunited for a brief tour of Italy. While they were there they recorded about 50 tunes with an Italian rhythm section, and although they didn't know it at the time, these sessions marked the last time the Gypsy guitarist and the French violinist recorded together. This edition collects the best tracks from those final sessions, including versions of Hot Club standards like InchMinor Swing,Inch InchBricktop,Inch and InchSwing 42.Inch Reinhardt and Grappelli don't try to recreate the raucous swing of their earlier collaborations, opting instead for an intriguing blend of romantic, almost classical melodic soloing and bebop-tinged harmonies and rhythms. The attempt doesn't always succeed, primarily because the three musicians on drums, bass, and piano are clearly out of their depth. But when the two masters click, as they do on InchI Got Rhythm,Inch they demonstrate an eagerness to explore the new musical possibilities offered by postwar jazz. Sadly Reinhardt died not long after he returned from Italy, so he and Grappelli were never able to continue their musical exploration, leaving the music on Djangology as a final farewell to one of the great partnerships in jazz.

The breadth of David Longstreth's talents as a songwriter, arranger, bandleader and singer call to mind Prince, Joni Mitchell, and Bjork. His constantly evolving sound, the sheer intensity of the music, and the originality of his voice set him apart. From beginning to end, InchRise AboveInch is a re-imagining of Black Flag's seminal 1981 record InchDamagedInch. It's not a covers record; Longstreth attempted to rewrite his favorite adolescent album word for word, from memory. The result resounds with a kind of elegant simplicity beautiful interlocking guitar parts, gorgeous three-part vocal harmonies, and some great songwriting. Album Tracks 1. What I See 2. No More 3. Depression 4. Six Pack 5. Thirsty and Miserable 6. Police Story 7. Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie 8. Spray Paint (The Walls) 9. Room 13 10. Rise Above 11. [Untitled]
