This release presents the complete original LP Djangology, which was compiled in 1961 (less than a decade after Django Reinhardt's untimely death in 1953 at the age of 43). Although the album cover claimed to feature the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, it actually presented music from a series of 1949 dates that reunited Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli in Rome along with a local rhythm section.[info sheet from distr.]
