Last Years Of Peace - 1936-1937

VINYL FORMAT. Packaged in 78 rpm style deluxe plain white cardboard sleeve with outer dust sleeve. The British Decca company, who had distributed the early Ultraphone sides in England, was attracted by the sudden success of the band and decided to start, in the autumn of 1935, with new recording sessions, now at the enhanced Polydor studios in Paris. Although dealing with such musicians was often quite challenging for the German Polydor technical engineers some of the results were musically remarkable, despite some low figure sales. Even during his Polydor-Decca phase Django Reinhardt recorded for other companies, including French Gramophone, and in November 1935 he met modern pianist Garnet Clark and US trumpeter Bill Coleman.
