Description
HERE'S the very first record by DJANGO REINHARDT and the QUINTETTE OF THE HOT CLUB OF FRANCE, from 1934, coming out of the gate swinging with "DINAH" and "TIGER RAG." This group was immensely influential, and still is, to this day, with seemingly every guitar player in Europe playing like Django!
This record was issued on a wide variety of labels all over Europe in 1934, even unto this Telefunken from Nazi Germany! (Despite coming down hard on Gypsies and Jazz music, the National Socialists were inexplicably benign toward Django and his crew.)
This original 1934 Telefunken A 1959 is in lovely E condition.
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
