Django Reinhardt - The Electric Years - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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.

Miami native Don Philip first hit the airwaves back in 1999 when he sang the duet, InchI Will Still Love You,Inch on Britney Spears' debut album and contributed the original track, InchSugar,Inch to the soundtrack of the teen-oriented motion picture, InchDrive Me Crazy.Inch the remarkably talented young singer songwriter began focusing now on his own projects since then, and the results show an emerging artist that has finally come into his own. After much experience in the studio working on various projects, Philip's recently released a full length solo album entitled InchEnergy,Inch which displayed 16 original compositions of carefully constructed dance pop, proving that Philip is surely one of the best new artists to emerge from the Miami dance scene in quite a while. InchReflect,Inch one of the strongest tracks on the album, is presented here in a completely new light - given a tribal remix by the team of Cesar Murillo & Eddie X featuring a radio edit, club mix and instrumental.
