5.0 out of 5 stars Decca recordings in France, December 17, 2001

By 

Richard Mrozinski (Staten Island, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Swing From Paris (Audio CD)

This collection consists of many of the Decca recordings done in France in 1935 thru 1938. For some reason, the Decca recordings in general are not being reissued. Most of the pre-war recordings on the 100 or so CDs available are from the French Gramaphone recordings. The music on this CD is of the same quality as we are all used to and belong in the collection of anyone who enjoys the quintet at its best. The only problem with this CD is the poor restoration of the records used. You will have to re-equalize the high frequencies to restore the brilliance to the sound and accept some surface noise.

It may be out of date, it may be out of fashion - but the music is timeless and the musicianship extraordinary.
At a recent party, where no-one was over the age of 35 - this was the most popular music of all. No competition.
Amazing how this music is almost instinctual to everyone - no matter their origins or gender.

Have been a fan both Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli together and individual for low these many years.
Recently turned 87, and music and I go back a long long way.
