Customer Review: Great atmospherics, some songs are a little "spooky". Really deserves to be listened to with headphones. The depth of the recording is wonderful.
Not really a party soundtrack.... more a personal journey in movement through sound.
Customer Review: I've know about Django Reinhardt for years but I only really "heard" his music in the movie Chocolat. This is a great introduction to Mr Reinhardt and the unique approach he brought to jazz. This collection is a good way to spend your money.
Customer Review: I just recieve my box set today and I just have to say. What a value ! It is not just a good value it is probably the best set around for Django Reinhardt. I am looking forward to try their other box set for Django.
Customer Review: A beloved friend introduced me to Grappelli's gypsy jazz, and I'm forever indebted.

Customer Review: If you have gypsy blood like me in your veins, this CD is a must for your collection.
Unfortunately Django left us in May 16, 1953. Five months later in October 31, 1953 I was born. What a shame, I never saw him

Customer Review: This CD is a beautiful sonic landscape. It marries gorgeous tonal brass melodies over lovely rhythmic foundations.
