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

[Han Enderman]

No no !
Delaunay 1936 has a Reinhardt chapter starting the section "Some European recordings" (p.247).
Of course not too much at that time (1934-36). Also Warlop.
Also some (1934-38) in the Commodore 1943 reprint (p.343), poss. from 1938 ed., which is not at hand.

But the French 1943 ed. has a real section "Europe", p.445-513 !
In the 1948 ed. preface (p.XI) Dalaunay says that selected European recordings will be listed in the first
supplement, for reasons of space.
But in the multivolume H.D.Encyclopedique (c.1951-52) most European recs are absent;
for ex. Eddie Brunner with Bill Coleman (listed in 1943 ed.; but in later eds. not under Brunner or Coleman).
However, Carter's English recs are included.

Rust - in general - lists US & British jazz, but only a very small part of other jazz recordings.

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.
