Hubert Rostaing

A relatively minor number in jazz history, Hubert Rostaing will be kept in mind as Stephane Grappelli’s successor with Django Reinhardt’s Quintet from the Hot Golf club of France. He worked well in early stages in Algiers using the Crimson Hotters, shifting to Paris in 1939. Rostaing used Reinhardt on / off during 1940-48, showing up on many recordings including some where Django was making use of guitar and modifying his design to bebop. In some way the band proved helpful fairly regularly through the Globe War II. job years. Rostaing also documented many numbers being a head during 1940-50 plus albums in 1958 and 1962, the last mentioned a established that emphasized the twist! Hubert Rostaing spent the majority of his old age working beyond jazz, composing film ratings and playing traditional music.
