Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing the legendary interplay between Django Reinhardt's lightning-fast guitar and St茅phane Grappelli's violin, this energetic instrumental is a foundational text of European jazz. The entirely acoustic, string-driven rhythm section completely reimagined the American swing format with distinct Roma musical vernacular.
