“Django was in his final weeks when he made this beautiful recording. He had seemingly fallen out of love with music, or with performance, in the post-war period and gained a reputation for unreliability. But there were signs that his old fire was coming back.” - PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ

The disc you hold in your hands was the final album Django Reinhardt recorded before his death on May 16, 1953. The guitarist left behind a work as vast as it was modern, and he left an indelible mark on the history of jazz guitar and music in general.” - JAZZ MAGAZINE
