Djangology is a compilation album by
Django Reinhardt and
Stephane Grappelli , released in 1961.
In 1949, Reinhardt and Grappelli reunited for a brief tour of
Italy . While they were there, they recorded about 50 tunes with an Italian
rhythm section , and although they did not know it at the time, these sessions would mark the last time the
Gypsy
guitarist and the French
violinist recorded together.
This CD collects 23 of the best tracks from those final sessions, including versions of
Hot Club standards like "
Minor Swing ", "
Bricktop ", and "Swing '42". Reinhardt died not long after he returned from Italy, so he and Grappelli were never able to continue their musical exploration.
