Reinhardt, Mandino & Marcel Loeffler
Note Manouche
Some records are remembered as the highlights of a time, of a style, of a public. They can no longer be found in retail shops a few years after their release, but remain in the memories and record collections of some happy few, able at the time to grasp its degree of modernity and interest. Note Manouche is one of these CDs and represents a major step in the history of "Gypsy Swing". Released before the big trend of this style, in 1999, it features almost exclusively genuine and beautiful compositions by Mandino Reinhardt and Marcel Loeffler - all being a perfect mix of tradition and modernity. This new release in FrEmeaux & AssociEs's catalogue fits perfectly between Django Reinhardt and the award-winning "Paris Musette" collection. Benjamin Goldenstein & Patrick FrEmeaux
