The 6-CD set The Complete Django Reinhardt and Quintet of the Hot Club of France Swing/HMV Sessions 1936-1948 features Reinhardt's work with violinist Stéphane Grappelli and the Hot Club and will make you wonder how anyone dared pick up the guitar after hearing the swing-era master. His tornado-force guitar attack and romantic spirit is as exhilarating a sound as jazz will ever know.
