5:49 Studio 24

Django Reinhardt, violin ("Blues in Mineur" and "Vois et Moi") and guitar (all tracks)
Ivon de Bie, piano

Recorded April 16, 1942 in Brussels for the Rythme label.

Songs from this 4-song session of duets with pianist Ivon de Bie have rarely been included on Django Reinhardt reissues and compilation albums. The session is unusual for at least a couple of reasons: 1.) Django plays violin, his first instrument, and 2.) he plays alongside a pianist playing a two-beat, quasi-stride piano accompaniment (lots of "oom-pah", just like the 1930s rhythm section of the QHCF).

The session was also in a different country (Belgium) for a different record label than most of Django's wartime small-group recordings.
