Sam Records/Saga are very excited to announce the 5th release of their ARTISAN series : Django Reinhardt The Great Artistry of Django Reinhardt 45 RPM Recorded March 10, 1953, Paris. Original 10 LP Issue : Blue Star 6830 / Clef Records MGC-516, 1953 I have always written liner copy for the various albums that I have produced in a happy frame of mind, because not only did I enjoy the music that was contained in the album, but there was always the anticipation of future things to come from the artist. Not so, however with this album, because this is the last album that will ever be release with Django Reinhardt. One of the greatest artists that the jazz world has ever seen, and I say world literally here, because he is one of the few great jazzman who did not come from the United States, living, as he did, in Europe. Django was a gypsy and he played with all the fire and soul that the gypsies have. He Was, as the gypsies are, in a sense, rootless, but he turned it to his advantage, because he seemed to have absorbed something from every country in which he played and in which he heard the various sounds that the different jazz people produced. He was also, to his great credit, a completely original musician, taking nothing from anyone else, and actually being the fount from which his own original and personal style flowed. This album was recorded in Paris about a month before Django Reinhardt died, and thus it becomes a kind of memorial album to this great artist. He was accompanied on this date by Maurice Vander, piano; Pierre Michelot, bass; Jean-Louis Vialle, drums; and I really sincerely believe that the things he did on this date were the epitome of the real Reinhardt. The tunes were: Night and Day, Nuages, Blues for Ike, Sensiblement, Brazil, September Song, Confessin, Manoir de mes rves. It is tragic that we will hear no more of this great artist. Norman Granz
