[78-L] The Ramblers in Brussels ( 1945 - 1948)

[Geoffrey Wheeler]

David Lennick comments regarding Brian Rust’s musical likes: “Rust 
wasn't alone in letting his opinions run rampant. Delaunay never listed
Django Reinhardt except as a sideman. No listings as a leader, no 
listings for the Quintette. Ditto Grappelly.”

True enough, Delaunay does not have a listing section in “Hot 
Discography” devoted to Reinhardt or Grappelly, but he did produce a 
separate Reinhardt discography. It has always puzzled me why he did not 
include sections on Reinhardt and Grappelly in any edition of his “Hot 
Discography.” In some respects, Rust is as unbending on musical 
preferences as Panassié.
