4-CD box set features Maxim Saury, Benny Vasseur, Rex Stewart, Gerard Badini, Pierre Michelot and Roy Eldridge. Includes Django's great successes performed by Claude Bolling's Big Band and also contains the very first recordings of Claude Bolling's Big Band realized by Franck T'not between 1948 and 1956. Three of these CDs express the beginning of European jazz, joined by one CD where Claude Bolling is interviewed by jazz specialist Daniel Nevers and editor Patrick Fremeaux in January 2003.
