Rhythm Futur

VINYL FORMAT. "These recordings chronicle a time when Paris was the centre of the world - and the legendary night clubs of Montmarte, Pigalle, and along the Champs- Elysees were filled with jazz bands, but with the onset of WWII, all this changed and gypsies like Django Reinhardt were systematically being rounded up and sent to the death camps. During this time Reinhardt found himself literally having to play and record in order to stay alive. As long as he was a star, he was safe. Amazingly, Reinhardt still managed to compose and record some of his best material during this dark era. Recorded in Paris between 1937 and 1940."
