Historic gypsy jazz recordings from two legends of European swing.

This Angel Records reissue presents classic 1937 sides from the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, featuring Django Reinhardt on guitar and Stéphane Grappelli on violin. These recordings helped define the sound of European swing and remain foundational to gypsy jazz.
