QUINTET OF THE HOT CLUB OF FRANCE/SWING FROM PARIS LF 1139 (-53) UK MONO

Legendary jazz combo, active between 1934-48. Group member and co-founder Django Reinhardt (1910-53) is regarded as one of the best guitarists of all time. This is a compilation of some of their best recordings issued as a tribute after his death. The choice of tracks shows on his incredible skill with the instrument. Fans of Clapton, Beck, Page or Hendrix are adviced to listen closely - this goes beyond genres and the finger work more reminding of Segovia than later guitar heroes. As far as I know the first with the group on 33 rpm. An export press was also made for the US market (London LB 810). Early UK on 10 inch had label as shown here and fully laminated cover with crescent flips. (LYBÖ*)(NYFÖ*) (CLÄZ*)
