Hit: 5 Stars
This is a sweet set. 10 discs complied from different years. Good mastering. For this price or any price you can not go wrong.Free Music Review: Excellent value
Hit: 5 Stars
You can't get a better value than this on Django's stuff. The recordings are not the best but are still listenable.Free Music Review: Mining for Django
Hit: 3 Stars
I own the 5 CD Chronological set, the Rome set, the Paris set, the late Jazz and the All Star Sessions CDs... along with a couple of old LPs... close to 400 sides, so as you might have surmised, I'm a bit of a Django fan. So most of the songs on this 10 CD set I already had. Still others had Django chunking rhythm to a big band and never taking a solo, so I passed over most of them. Yet, I still dug 68 songs out of this set that I didn't already have. That made it worth the price for me. To top it off, some of the solos are among his most brilliant, in my opinion. My only regret is that the recordings weren't treated with the same respect as in some of the above compilations -- so heavily filtered, attacks were lost and overall energy was compromised. To a diehard like me, who lives for the next Django solo, the scratches only add to the mystique. Overall, though, a good buy. No session details, but I think I can find those when I purchase the Delaunay book.Free Music Review: Sound quality suffers from mastering
Hit: 3 Stars
Many of these tracks have very aggressive - too aggressive - noise removal. The result is more distracting than the noise would have been. Notes seem to emerge from a tissue box, without much attack.
Of course Django is always great and look how many great but obscure tracks you get. Worth the money, but unbelievably uneven sound.
