Echoes of Spain Django’s waltzes: Montagne Sainte-Genevieve, Gagoug, Chez Jazquet, and Choti were recorded by Pierre (Jean) "Matelo" Ferret in Paris, 1960.
Directed by Jean Marais, and with avant-garde staging and scenery, the play, opened in May 1944 at the Theatre Edouard VII.
André Castelot in the publication, La Gerbe - June 1, 1944 - even attacked the music of Django ... advising him to "go green" (camouflage) while traveling around France - whether with his quintet, or when in the company of his memorable nomadic "cousins".
_______________________ Ideology, Cultural Politics and Literary Collaboration at la Gerbe[dead link] by Richard J. Golsan Of the major weekly reviews published in Paris during the Occupation, perhaps none is more representative of the period itself and the spirit of collaboration with Nazi Germany than La Gerbe.
A large-scale poster campaign in the streets of Paris preceded the appearance of the first number of La Gerbe on 11 July 1940,[3] and the offices of the journal on the Rue des Pyramides were ransacked following the Liberation.
