Mandino Reinhardt "Note Manouche" 1994 - Gypsy Music from Alsace

Gypsy jazz (also known as gypsy swing or hot club jazz) is a style of jazz music started by guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt in the 1930s. Because its origins are largely in France it is often called by the French name, "Jazz manouche," or alternatively, "manouche jazz".

Some records are remembered as the highlights of a time, of a style, of a public. They can no longer be found in retail shops a few years after their release, but remain in the memories and record collections of some happy few, able at the time to grasp its degree of modernity and interest. Note Manouche is one of these CDs and represents a major step in the history of “Gypsy Swing”. Released before the big trend of this style, in 1999, it features almost exclusively genuine and beautiful compositions by Mandino Reinhardt and Marcel Loeffler – all being a perfect mix of tradition and modernity. This new release in Frémeaux & Associés’s catalogue fits perfectly between Django Reinhardt and the award-winning “Paris Musette” collection. Benjamin Goldenstein & Patrick Frémeaux
