Book Reviews of Django Reinhardt - The Definitive Collection: Guitar Recorded Versions
Book Review: Go Cat Go!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent folio of Django's music that contains 20 jazz/swing standards and originals. Additionally, many of the songs feature guitar transcriptions of Stephane Grappelli's violin parts; similar to the recent Hal Leonard score of Charlie Christian's, which features much of Benny Goodman's clarinet and Lionel Hampton's vibe work. And while some may find this a distraction others will say boon. I say boon. And many tunes are transcribed to include the second rhythm guitar part. The entire book is engraved in tab and standard notation.
What I'd like to focus on here though, deals with what album goes with which transcription. For despite the fact that each song states its source recording, there is still much confusion to be found within. Confusion - like which version of the album 'Djangology' did the transcriber rely upon? The score is not so clear, rather only stating 'Djangology'; while omitting the necessary publisher information. Because the title 'Djangology' may refer to any number of different compilations. And the score relies upon the album 'Djangology 49' by RCA Victor or Bluebird, which Bluebird has recently remastered, that now also goes by the title 'Djangology'. And some transcriptions are from 'The Best of Django Reinhardt', of which there are numerous different compilations.
So, I seek to end the confusion here. Additionally, find this site and others contain pertinent music samples, so you can hear the musical journey that you're in for (a site with the letters "jr" and "com" had the most relevant samples).
THE TRANSCRIPTIONS ARE FROM THE FOLLOWING RECORDINGS:
From Recall's 2-CD 'Djangology'
* Belleville
* Dinah
* Dinette
* Djangology
* Limehouse Blues
* Minor Swing
* Nuages
* Rose Room
* Swing 42
* Swing Guitar
From Master Classic's 'The Best of 1934-1939'
* Ain't Misbehaivin'
* Old Folks at Home (Swanee River)
* Stardust
* Tiger Rag (Hold That Tiger)
From RCA Victor's 'Djangology 49' or Bluebird's 'Djangology 49/Djangology (Remastered)'
* Marie
* The World Is Waiting For the Sunrise
From Verve's 'Jazz Masters 38'
* Daphne
* Melodie a Crepuscule
From Blue Note's 'The Best of Django Reinhardt'
* My Serenade
From Jass's 'Swing Guitar'
* Honeysuckle Rose (see note below)
This last transcription is also found in Hal Leonard's 'Guitar Tab White Pages'. I got mine from the Jass album 'Swing Guitar' (out of print). I've also seen it on a CD called 'Django & Friends' or summat like that. It's out there you just have to dig a bit. Here Django plays with the U.S. Air Transport Command Band during 1945-46.
The thing about Django is that he often recorded the same song numerous times. So finding the correct track for a particular transcription can be a challenge. I've Marcel Dadi's Alain Peirson Publication of Django tab, and in twenty years, I still can't find the source for many of those transcriptions. This Hal Leonard score transcribes recordings that are readily available. And the transcriptions are as accurate as any I've seen.
