Moreno-Tórroba: Sonatina, Nocturne, Suite Castellana (John Williams, guitar; Westminster). A remarkable young (20) Australian guitarist in three nice pieces by Spanish Composer Federico Moreno. The tones are water clear, the style one of caressing delicacy, and the whole reminiscent of a precocious Segovia, who in fact taught Williams at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana of Siena...
...reunion of McKenzie-Condon's Chicagoans-the band organized by Guitarist Eddie Condon and Kazooist Red McKenzie in the 1920s.

Three of Reinhardt's four companions are Italian jazzmen-not members of the Quintet of The Hot Club of France, as the album cover claims-and they go about as far in international understanding as a rhythm section can go. As for Reinhardt. in such numbers as Bricktop, Beyond the Sea and his own Djangology, he is by turns piquant and fiery, still a master at gracefully dandling a tune...
