Post-War Django

After WWII Django faced a couple of new challenges: Swing and Bebop. Myth has it that Django was engulfed by Swing and bewildered by Bop. This box set tells a different story. On these newly remastered recordings, Django appraches the new movements with virtuoso enthusiasm - while never losing his ability to entertain.
