What a wonderful weaving of improvisation in my favorite swing style. This has both Grace and Beauty and oh how I love it!!

[Thehsuanyang]

LOVE IT!

[lisaj62]

wow - the roots of minor swing

[zenzombie72]

@lisaj62 Check out the album Jazz Sebastian Bach by The Swingle Singers. Bach really swings anyway.

[OmaKahn]

but where is django in this song? he never used to play just the chords

[zenzombie72]

@OmaKahn It must have been necessary for the arrangement.

[minnetB]

Que ne savaient-ils pas faire ?

[vonsturmgeist]

nice improvisation.....where could i download this?

[Aezandris]

@vonsturmgeist Using Force Download

[paulp518]

@vonsturmgeist there is a program that converts youtube videos into mp3 files, it's amazing, just google youtube to mp3. I got rare audio from video this way, very nice.

[isanewday]

Move over Bach  :)

[mountainmarc]

Swing didn't exist in the time of Bach but this piece is much better in swing than straight.

[thetiler]

Enjoyed !

[jdmaniac820]

wow. wonderful

[Annie8o8]

hey, first of all, thanks for posting this! this is seriously one of my all time favorite songs.

but i just thought i would also say that this is a recording of Stéphane Grappelli's duet with American jazz violinist Eddie South... in case anyone is interested.

[KooGuitar]

who is playing the other violin??

[astaire2012]

is Django playing violin as well???

[caracol43]

makes my heart swing :) thanks!

[philipchek]

Oups - with deepest respect to these genius musicians - I hear they have to put Bach in some kind of jail - either Bach harmonies would go to far away. but it's nice to listen.

[drisspissdriss]

This is not only one of the finest pieces ever composed but also a wonderful interpretation. This is one of my take-to-the-island recordings since many, many years. Thanks for sharing!

[greaseline]

I agree this is top rate fore sure, but just found it! What other music would you recommend?

[rawabla]

One of my all times favourite!

By the way, the other violin player is Eddie South.

[vizhtor77]

Thanks! I knew already who Eddie South was, and even listened to some of his awesome recordings...it's nice to hear them playing them together...

[vizhtor77]

but who is the another violinist?
