Description
HERE IS a bouquet of swing, by the greatest jazz band to come out of Europe in the 1930s - THE QUINTETTE OF THE HOT CLUB OF FRANCE. With epochal guitarist DJANGO REINHARDT and his violinistic foil STEPHANE GRAPPELLY, the influence of this group was felt worldwide, the only non-U.S. jazz band to do so until the 1950s. Even today, practically all guitar players from Oslo to Sicily do their damnedest to sound like Django! But there's only one McCoy, and you have him here!
These three Maroon Decca reissues from ca. 1940 are all clean (E-ish) and master-pressed from the original metal parts:
23032: IT DON'T MEAN A THING / ST. LOUIS BLUES
23066: HONEYSUCKLE ROSE / STOMPING AT DECCA
23132: DAPHNE / I WONDER WHERE MY BABY IS TONIGHT
PHOTOS: 1) the mighty Q. H. C. F.! 2) Smilin' Django.

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
