Presentation :
In twentieth century the 16th May 1953, Django Reinhardt disappeared as one
of the most famous musicians. He is still considered a model for the new
generations of musicians but above all,, and most of all he became a myth for
a large majority of Jazz listeners. This secret gypsy lead an uncommon life
where reality was melting with legend…
This album present twenty song of Django Reinhardt whereas we can observe
the genius of the gypsy.
The English translation of the title Un Géant sur Son Nuage is "A Giant on His
Cloud," and Reinhardt was exactly that -- a giant.,Offering 20 gems that span
1935-1939, Un Géant sur Son Nuage, Vol. 1 paints a consistently attractive
picture of his early work. Reinhardt is heard in a variety of settings; he is
unaccompanied on several tracks (including "Parfum," "Echoes of Spain," and
"Naguine"), but most of the material finds him leading small groups. The most

famous is the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. The small-group
performances on this CD became the blueprint for many of the gypsy swing
groups that have come along since the '30s; in the 21st century, gypsy swing
groups continue to model themselves after Reinhardt's trailblazing work with
Grappelli. Un Géant sur Son Nuage, Vol. 1 isn't the last word on Reinhardt in
the '30s, but all of the tracks are superb -- and if this French release only
scratches the surface, it is a most rewarding surface.
