1	The Best of Django Reinhardt [Capitol/Blue Note] (1996) more music like this by Django Reinhardt Tread cautiously when the title of an album starts off with the phrase "the best of." It's not that the music on the album will be lacking, but that the introductory phrase is so subjective, it should make a prospective of the album, at the minimum, a bit wary; it would be somewhat more honest to title such compilations "Some of the Best of..."

2	The Triangle (2004) more music like this by Arild Andersen with Vassilis Tsabropoulos and John Marshall Perhaps the most startling aspect of the Triangle, Arild Andersen's 15th date as a leader, and his second with pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos and drummer John Marshall is their re-visioning of the trio. Though Tsabropoulos composed five of the nine pieces here, he does not compose for himself as the centerpiece of the trio's expression. The bass is ... see all copies from $17.27! new only from $17.27!
3	Tango Bitter Sweet (2006) more music like this by Quadro Nuevo There was a time when doing something experimental in tango could not only result in bad reviews from music critics who didn't understand what you were doing -- it could also result in bodily harm. The late Astor Piazzolla, often hailed as the Charlie Parker of tango, was literally beaten up in the streets of Buenos Aires by opponents who disliked ... see all copies from $13.04! new only from $14.95!
4	Enchante: The Greatest French Stars 1927-1947 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Here's an index of mid-20th century popular French music, laid out in recordings made between 1926 and 1947. Gaps in the fabric are perhaps inevitable; the absence of Yvette Guilbert, for example, is regrettable. The earliest examples feature sultry Mistinguett (born Jeanne-Marie Bourgeois) whose date of birth is estimated as early as 1873; her ... see all copies from $2.55! new only from $10.83!
5	Satin Doll (1972) more music like this by Stephane Grappelli On this double LP, violinist Stéphane Grappelli gets away from his usual tribute to the late Django Reinhardt and plays 15 standards, including "Mack the Knife," "The Girl from Ipanema," "You Took Advantage of Me," and "Body and Soul." Accompanied by organist Eddy Louiss, pianist Marc Hemmeler, guitarist Jimmy Gourley, bassist Guy Pedersen, and ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.21!
6	If Dreams Come True (2007) more music like this by Ann Savoy Ann Savoy has long been a Francophile. A French major in college, she later became a major player in the Cajun music scene through her work in the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band and the Magnolia Sisters. More recently, she has become more widely known as the organizer of two well-received Cajun-based compilations, Evangeline Made and Creole Bred, as well ... see all copies from $5.82! new only from $10.99!
7	Afternoon in Paris (1971) more music like this by Stephane Grappelli This is a typically flawless swing set by violinist Stephane Grappelli. Joined by pianist Marc Hemmeler, bassist Eberhard Weber and drummer Kenny Clare for a session originally cut for MPS, Grappelli mixes together sophisticated ballads with hotter stomps and uplifts the somewhat modern rhythm section. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.40! new only from $13.40!
8	Neighbourhood (2006) more music like this by Manu Katche The superb French/Ivory Coast drummer Manu Katche, long a backing force on many ECM sessions, steps out on his own for the first time on this label and comes up with a gem -- with a little help from some of the ECM stars. Indeed, "Neighbourhood" is a very appropriate title, for there are several interlocking orbits of personnel within this album. ... see all copies from $8.41! new only from $15.65!
9	Hot Club of Detroit (2006) more music like this by Hot Club of Detroit The very name of the Hot Club of Detroit is a tip-off to what kind of traditional jazz this Detroit-based sextet plays. Where other jazz combos may devote themselves to Dixieland or bebop, this group hearkens back to the hot dance music and gypsy jazz made by Django Reinhardt; indeed, the group's name is a play on Reinhardt's legendary Hot Club of ... see all copies from $13.88! new only from $15.70!
10	More Never Recorded Arrangements for Benny Goodman (2003) more music like this by Bob Wilber & the Tuxedo Big Band Bob Wilber and these French people should have gotten some sort of humanitarian award from the United Nations for giving the world Vol. 1, which was devoted to the many arrangements devised by Fletcher Henderson for Benny Goodman's bands. The sequel is just as well conceived and carefully executed, with the added benefit of 16 additional arrangers ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $14.19!
11 view cover	Djangology [Bluebird] (2002) more music like this by Django Reinhardt In 1949, guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli performed together for the first time since the outbreak of World War II put an end to the classic lineup of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, with the pair reuniting in an Italian recording studio and laying down a number of tunes with a solid local rhythm section. In 1961, ... see all copies from $8.13! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	All Star Sessions (2001) more music like this by Django Reinhardt The studio sessions within this CD were produced by Charles Delauney in Paris during the late '30s, when a number of prominent Americans were either passing through or temporarily taking up residence in Europe. Django Reinhardt was a relative newcomer to jazz, but quickly became a leading player on the continent, and is present on four very ... see all copies from $9.07! new only from $10.79!
13 view cover	The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order (2000) more music like this by Django Reinhardt This budget five-disc box collects Reinhardt's first 124 recordings between 1934-1939. Curiously enough, despite the title, these sides aren't chronological, a fact that engineer Ted Kendall admits in the liner notes. Rather, while each disc's featured sessions are presented mostly chronologically, the discs themselves are rather awkwardly ... see all copies from $25.49! new only from $25.71!
14 view cover	Playground (2007) more music like this by Manu Katche Drummer Manu Katche's sophomore effort for ECM is, in some ways, an extension of his nearly brilliant debut Neighbourhood, issued by the label in 2004. The former recording listed such ECM standard bearers as trumpeter Tomasz Stanko and veteran saxophonist Jan Garbarek on the front line and a rhythm section comprised of pianist Marcin Wasilewski ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $15.65!
15 view cover	Swing 39 (2001) more music like this by Django Reinhardt There is something carefree and joyful about the music of Django Reinhardt; something that comes bubbling to the surface every time he begins a wild run of notes on his acoustic guitar. Of course the swinging style of Stephane Grappelli's violin doesn't hurt. Nor do great songs like "Tea for Two," "My Melancholy Baby," and "Jeepers Creepers." ... see all copies from $8.63! new only from $10.06!
16 view cover	Contradictions: A Look at the Music of Michel Petrucciani (2006) more music like this by The Christian Jacob Trio The Christian Jacob Trio plays a well-conceived and brilliantly executed -- and long overdue by the jazz community -- to the tunes of the late composer and pianist Michel Petrucciani. Jacob is accompanied by bassist Trey Henry and drummer Ray Brinker on this very spirited and swinging program that compiles 11 Petrucciani tunes including the ... see all copies from $13.24! new only from $20.59!
17 view cover	Souvenirs [Verve] (1956) more music like this by Django Reinhardt With Stephane Grappelli With the Quintet of the Hot Club of France There are two distinct periods covered by this compilation of sessions Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France recorded for a number of French labels. The first was just before Grappelli left France to go to England, not wanting to be under the Nazi Germany-sponsored Vichy government during World War II. ... see all copies from $10.04! new only from $13.91!
18 view cover	Other Directions (2004) more music like this by Nicola Conte For those who became acquainted with Nicola Conte via his Bossa Per Due and Jet Sounds Revisited, Other Directions will come as a real surprise. Along with being a producer and DJ, Conte is a classically trained musician who is a multi-instrumentalist and a very accomplished arranger. His previous work in the acid jazz and electronic bossa ... see all copies from $11.89! new only from $23.70!

22 view cover	Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live (1994) more music like this by Stephane Grappelli/David Grisman One of the most exciting of the many Stephane Grappelli recordings, this live session (a straight CD reissue of the original LP) teams the veteran violinist with mandolist David Grisman's band, an ensemble that (in addition to its leader) boasts hot solos from Mike Marshall on violin, guitarist Mark O'Connor (who switches to violin to battle ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $10.20!
23 view cover	Django's Music (1940) more music like this by Django Reinhardt After some five years with the Quintette du Hot Club de France, guitarist Django Reinhardt went solo in 1939 with his own big band and a few different combos. His most famous musical partner, violinist Stephane Grappelli, stayed in England during the war to pursue solo ventures of his own -- and presumably to steer clear of Nazi forces. While the ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $16.39!
