Danse Norvegienne is a lively gypsy jazz tune performed by Django Reinhardt. It was recorded in July 1947 in Paris and again in 1950 in Rome. The 1947 version appeared on the ST 2087-1 release with a Paris session lineup that included Django Reinhardt, Hubert Rostaing, Joseph Reinhardt, Ladislas Czabanyck, and Andre Jourdan. The 1950 Rome recording features Andre Ekyan, Ralph Schecroun, Alf Masselier, and Roger Paraboschi. The track has been released on multiple labels over the years, including Fremeaux FA 313, Classics 1001, Verve 835 418-1, and Legacy 411, with a 1950 CW11 release as well. Danse Norvegienne is firmly in the jazz manouche genre and is noted for its brisk dance rhythm and distinctive Django guitar work.
