Jazz (Gypsy Jazz)
Absolute inexistence of info apart from the track titles. Almost a whole hour of riveting, exciting, and spirited Gipsy Swing; there are tracks with the Hot Club 5tet some with Grapelly others possibly with other violin player; there are tracks with a group with clarinet and trumpet , tracks with violin less combos but with piano, some others with larger ensemble possibly his American Swing Band and even the occasional solo piece; The repertoire is pretty well represented as far as I know, with “Swing 39”, Lambeth Walk”, “Hungaria” or “Louise” among others, and so are the moods and tempos, from the hauntingly melancholic “Manoir de mes rêves”, to the joyful balance of “All of Me”, the deliciously malicious “Appel Direct” or to the dazzling speed and the scorching guitar and violin solos of “I Wonder where my baby is Tonight”, just to name a few. An at times audible annoying sort of vinyl like background noise which a better remastering could have got rid of.
