With Django I am not necessarily a completist. I really like his music but 40cds are way too much to digest for me. Thanks Steve anyway for your thoughts

So I’ve got this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/2371061-Django-Reinhardt-The-Classic-Early-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order lots of value for your money, well documented and great sound. Recommended by the Penguin. But it looks cheapish (which is fine for that money) and no nice booklets with background info and pictures etc. What is the most definitive multiple disc Django compilation according to you guys?

+1 Wow definitely would like to hear that one.

Great pick 👍

Tchangodei is an excellent pianist from Lyon, France. The Wasp is good but the Bow is really, really great. Happy to have that one on LP. Highly recommended stuff. Tchangodeis percussive style fits excellent with Lacy’s playing and of course backed by the excellent Oliver Johnson. Tchangodeis Three for Freedom with Archie Shepp and Mal Waldron is also great.

That’s a great one!

Looks awesome Hutchfan! Born in 1990: I am a '90s kid. Definitely a jazz area that got forgotten too often. Some seriously great records were made. Must be a lovely hobby revisiting and reviewing all those albums. Your friend has some serious audio equipment by the way 😱 Definitelt going to visit there. Will you post some updates/reminderd now and then? Some of my favorites from this decade: - David Murray's Special Quartet - Steve Lacy / Mal Waldron - Hot House - Billy Harper - Far East Triology - Charles Gayle - Touchin on Trane - Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages - Evan Parker - 50th Birthday Concert - Joe Henderson - So Near, So Far - Andrew Cyrille - My Friend Louis - Myra Melford - Alive in the House of Saints - Reggie Workman - Summit Conference - Steve Lacy - Revenue - Michel Petrucciani - Au Theatre Champs Elysees - Paul Bley - Time Will Tell - Takeo Moriyama/Mal Waldron - Bit - Steve Lacy - 5X Monk 5X Lacy - Abdullah Ibrahim - Yarona - Horace Tapscott - Aiee The Phantom! - Kenny Garrett - Pursuance - Henry Threadgill - Wheres Your Cup - Gary Burton - Like Minds - Geri Allen - The Gathering - Fred Anderson - 2 Days in April - David S. Ware - Live in the World - Vassillis Tsabropoulos - Achirana Some stone cold classics among them

Good question I wouldnt know. What I do know is that I like that record a lot

It might be time for a new reissue of the whole concert. According to some people on Discogs the sonics on the ezz-thethics are better than the original Impulse! reissue. A new issue including Creation or even more would be more than welcome
