Reinhardt, Django - Nuages

NEW VINYL LP ON JAZZ IMAGES 2017

180 GRAM VINYL.

The music on this album is among the last recorded by the great Django Reinhardt. Soon after he cut these sessions, he unexpectedly died on May 16, 1953, at the age of 43. The quartet date was made by the French company Blue Star, but produced from the other side of the ocean by Norman Granz, who issued it in the United States on his Clef label. It was planned to be the start of an intense collaboration between Django and Granz which, unfortunately, would never come to be.
