The brilliance of this piece is not just the two fantastic soloists but the driving rhythm behind them that moves the music relentlessly along. Superb and as fresh today as when it was recorded in 1937.

@Nick Weiss Thanx. Like I said I've had everything from 54 year old Empires, Klipsch from the 70's, homemade, Kenwoods, etc. The 301's were at a farm/estate auction and virtually brand new. 50 Bucks and they are in the garage making noise. I couldn't go wrong for the price and listneing to 80+ year old recordings while working on motorcycles is fun!
Regards.

@Seth Thomas Bose was never "audiophile" equipment, that's why audiophiles hate it. Hell yeah music recorded in 1937 will sound great, it didn't have any highs or lows either lol. All I can say is, if you can enjoy your experience, and piss off audiophiles, its a win win. $50 is a great price to have a good time, isn't it? If audio quality were a perfectible concept, there would be exactly one set of speakers sold today. It's not. Have fun, buy old speakers, and turn them up loud enough to drown out the haters.

It's because Django only had half as many fingers. Imagine if he had as many as Grapelli

Grapelli is my favorite musician ever, and I don’t even play violin. He compliments Django perfectly , the sound harmony and phrasing , and of course he swings insanely hard .

Nick Weiss

Monster player. An equal to Django as far as hearing the important notes to hit, and facility in doing so, in perfect swing time and feel. He probably also knew more theory than Django did, which would be more than zero lol. Gypsy jazz is not a hard style to understand if you're educated in music, but the feel and note selection that these guys brought to the table are as good as any in the history of recorded music.

I do too! Equal and comparable! All though not as famous, I loved him with David Grisman, I'm sure he did a LOT with his 99 years on Earth which I'm still discovering

He really loves those sharp 7's over the minor chords and dropping into the minor chords from the flat 2nd. His sense of melody is unmatched I think even to this day. He effortlessly flows over the chord changes like it's nothing to him. When you actually dissect this stuff phrase by phrase you can really see the magic in the note selection. He was amazing.

David Walker

The amazing thing about Django was he did not know the notes on the guitar or chords or what key he was playing in or scales. But everything he played he played by ear

This is simply amazing! Did you guys know Django was an inspiration for Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. Iommi had lopped off the tips of his fingers on his last day of work at a metal working factory. He was crushed as.everyome told him his guitar playing ambitions would rain unfulfilled. His former manager brought him a Django album and told him to listen and to recognize this guy was playing with only two fingers. Iommi was transfixed...and from then over time...Sabbath. of you listen closely to Iommi's leads (especially in some of the older Sabbath albums) you can find traces of Django!

Though it would be decades later, and after years of listening to guitar legends such as Jimi Hendrix, someone told me about Django Reinhardt who played guitar with just 2 fingers. I was taught guitar basics by my older brother as a teenager. He showed me how to play lead guitar with just 2 fingers so I wouldn't get frustrated, and I've played guitar that way all my life. Django is an inspiration to all who might otherwise give up on learning a musical instrument. Just pick one up and pour your heart and soul into it. You'll be amazed at what you can do!

He gave jazz a whole new meaning. An idiom of rythem with wings & blazing progressive notes. Dispite fingering the fretboard with only 2 fingers we could hear what he heard in his mind. An inspiration to all musicians to never say " I can't because of a handicap". The true father of swing.

I did it exactly two years ago:-D the thing is im lefthanded and learned it autodidact on a right handed guitar. Not easy, but i dont want to learn it lefthanded after nearly 25 years of playing classical guitar. I changed to jazz because its sounds unique and is much more fun playing this technique:-)

Who would ever think a guitar and a violin could make such joyous music together. There are many tragedies unknown to the world in all fields; In music, that these two geniuses of their craft would only cut a little more than 60 songs together. Think how many they played together after hours that would never be heard except by those around.

I discovered Django Reinhardt on a jazz radio program on public radio in the 90’s. He and Stefane Grappelli just wowed me. Django was quite a musician and he worked with a lot of musicians. I recall Grappelli performing a song he had written in memory of Django. It was simply beautiful and moving.

Ninety years and ten gazzillion recording of this piece later, nearly all played at breakneck speed, unlike this version, the original is still the best. But I am as old as dirt myself and like old stuff best anyhow. There are a few modern players who do great things with this tune, unfortunately most just bury it under such an overdose of speed that their versions sound better if you slow them to 3/4 speed.
