Django and Edith Piaf

Jazzaferri

I am wanting to know if DR and EP recorded anything together?

François RAVEZ

Hello,

To my knowledge (based on Edith Piaf discography) they did never record together (though somebody spoke to me of a mysterious recording of DR + Edith Piaf + Maurice Chevalier which if it ever existed was lost in a fire).

But Edith recorded 3 titles with young Matelot Ferret :
- Fais-moi Valser (24 MAR 1936 - M-2376-1 & M-2379)
- La Jolie Julie (24 MAR 1936 - M-2377)
- Va danser (24 MAR 1936 - M-2380-1)

Interestingly enough, 'Fais-moi Valser' is exactly the same tune as 'Petite Valse Manouche' recorded by Francis-Alfred Moerman as a traditionnal.

The certainly did not recorded anything professionally together.
