Description
Vintage Parisian jazz. Vintage Parisian ambiance. Paris has always attracted jazz musicians from all over the world to its clubs and cafés. Paris, in particular, is the spiritual home of gypsy jazz, where many jazz musicians played in the city's bals-musettes in the first half of the 20th century. Django Reinhardt made a name for himself in the 1930s and 1940s with violinist Stéphane Grappelli and his Quintette du Hot Club de France, as well as with the bands of Alex Renard, Alix Combelle, Ray Ventura, Claude Bolling, and Jerry Mango.
This LP sampler provides an excellent overview of the scene at that time, when the Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Latin quarters were home to numerous famous jazz clubs shortly after the war. All tracks have been remastered.
