Django





This colorful cover heralds a collection of some of Django Reinhardt's greatest records, as issued on Angel in 1954, shortly after his death at age 43.

Django is hardly obscure - his entire recorded oeuvre is available on 20 CDs for those who are gaga over the gypsy guitarist. This post is merely designed to be a sampler for those who have not discovered his genius. It comes to us courtesy of my friend flyingfinger, whose rip this is, and quite a good one. Nice cover, too!

As his name may suggest, flyingfinger knows a great guitarist when he hears one, so this upload comes with an ironclad guarantee. If you don't like it, I will substitute any Les Paul record of your choice.
