I think its a 1990 CD re-release of recordings originally made in 1949, as suggested by the title.
I'm confused. Was this really released in 1990? Or in 1949?

It's on the CD as well -- a bit disconcerting, but well worth the slight distraction to experience this incredible music. The CD was a bit challenging to track down, but well worth the effort and cost. This is music for -- and from -- the heart.
I love hearing the crackle & pop of the vinyl...!

This song makes me think of this movie.
Just kind of perfect, innit?
Love this old time sound. Very uplifting. The picture it paints in my mind is in black&white, maybe there's some Charlie Chaplin in there too.
A god on earth. Juste vous bien Django.
Charles Trenet: la mer...

As far as I could tell, no one here said that Brussels was a country, but yes, Reinhardt was born in Belgium.
If Brussels were a country, would its colonies be known as Sprouts?

Ahem, get your facts right, Django was a Belgium Gypsy, why do people allways think Belgium artists are French dammit! Its not because some of them speak French that they actually are French. And while im at it, Brussels is not a country its the capital city of Belgium, a country in wich 60´% of the inhabitants speak Flemish (the other part either French or German) Whew, just had to get that off of my chest...
Since Django spent his childhood in France, spoke French, spent most of his life and career in France, and died in France, one can be forgiven for (as Noé wrote) referring to Django as a "French musician." (Just as one would refer to Joe Strummer and Freddie Mercury as "British musicians" despite being born in Turkey, and Tanzania, respectively.) And why do people "always" refer to Romani persons using the pejorative "Gypsy." Oh, and while I'm at it, I don't think anybody mentioned Brussels at all.

Just for the credits: this is a brilliant instrumental version of one of the best-known songs (La Mer) by Charles Trenet, a very famous french music-hall singer who started his career in the 1930s.

This song reminds me of that sound track for the movie, "The Third Man".
And it was the sound track that makes it a very trippy movie. Ahhhh....Vienna in the Fall?

This is pure genius. Love the was these two complement each other musically. Their Hot Club De Paris sessions from the late 30's are also worth a listen.

Beautiful. Love the vinyl scratch. NOT added or sampled , the original thing
Loved it. Saw Grappelli about 1985 in Philadelphia - he seemed as happy as his music.

I have to say that I rated this song a 9, because it's "Beyond the Sea," and because it's Django. I'll add a third reason now: The damned song makes me sway and swoon and ache for the good ol' days when a song and a sunset were enough to make a person happy. I "get" it - I just wish more people did.
Enjoy your martini, AW. I'm smiling now...

Very nice version, but I prefer the french original "La mer" by Charles Trenet, composed in 1943.
Django. His music evokes images of happening Paris nightclubs in the carefree time before the second world war (if you were rich, it was fairly carefree anyway), full of dancing, partying, and general hedonism throughout. Missing a bit of the classic gypsy jazz tempo of most of his works, but this is definitely MUSIC, played by MUSICIANS on MUSIC INSTRUMENTS, music meant to be listened to and danced to.

Woody Allen's "Sweet and Lowdown" is a beautiful run on this tune, seemingly old yet moving and sort of sad
Classic tune with classically sparse orchestration. And beautiful ... a Stroll along the Seine, anyone? Evening gowns and tuxedos, please.

'Beyond the Sea' played during the ending credits.
lophrequa, if you get the opportunity, I recommend renting "Finding Nemo." It's a delightful movie about a little orange clown-fish who gets caught by humans and put in an aquarium. His father goes looking for him and has a series of incredible adventures, meets various other sea creatures, and learns a lesson or two about himself along the way. It's one of my favorite "feel-good" movies, and the Pixar people are insanely talented and funny.
My favorite part of the closing credits is all the activity going on as a backdrop. Little jellyfish squirting across the screen, etc. And "Beyond the Sea" is the song playing during the credits, as AvoidingWork said. (Hey, AvoidingWork - it's now FRIDAY. Stop avoiding work and go have some FUN!)

Never heard this version.... really cool! Did y'all hear the "Jimi Hendrix" chord that he uses as a passing chord? Awesome. If I had used that chord back in my gigging days, my band mates would have tossed a beer at me at high velocity—but Django can make it sound righteous!

LOL - Totally agree. And Django gives it that wonderful quirky edge. I've always loved this song, but this is just icing on the cake. *sighs* Love it. (And I love that little orange fish, too - somehow, he went through a similar journey...)
Nice to hear. For years, Bobby Darin owned the space in my head with this label. Then a little orange fish.

I think he's always had a fairly even mix. Some of the earliest Django I have includes things like Sweet Georgia Brown, Nagasaki, Dinah and pretty much anything anything Mr. Armstrong did was OK by Django. Often times with songs that come from the decades before I was born I will only know one version and being far too lazy to look things up I tend to give the artist credit for the song if he's someone who writes a lot of his own stuff. This of course means I am also too lazy to dig out all my other Django discs and get any actual statistics.
Did Django trade much in standards (ones he didn't compose, I mean :)? He covers 14 on this album alone. Don't know why I would just assume he wrote all of his tunes... I like this spare version of a big-band classic.

Please, another cigarette, and Stephane, take it from the top. Pernods all round!

I must admitt that I liked the vinyl scratching the most ! 
It reminds me of my father, he loved this song. Was a little gipsy himself...
I love hearing the crackle & pop of the vinyl...!
I'm thinking pre-vinyl, Bakelite maybe, 78 rpm.
