I am a huge Jackie McLean fan and never understood why this one has such bad rep. Love it and I especially think his style blends excellent with Rashied Ali’s drumming.

Looks very cool. 😎

this cheap Catalyst issue sounds amazing

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.
