[johndillinger1932]

NoFX does a great version of this song...

[Del87beatle]

@johndillinger1932 Do you think so? They only took the lyrics and title of the song and sream out loud

[youbadcrazyman]

the clarinet sounds smooth as silk!

[MrJimmienoone]

@jazzsaxboy. Without a doubt this is NOT C. Hawkins on tenor, although the sax-player is definitely inspired by his phrasing. The tone is completely different. Less rich and full, more to the L. Young side.

[SmallDays1]

Such an inspiration - it doens't get any better. it inspires our own tribute, to Django, and Billie Holiday and the great musicians that have played and sang this great song!

[gwhizofto]

Django plays with the dotted eighth 16th, instead of the usual swing triplets like the sax. More elegant that way?!

[jazzsaxboy]

Without a doubt that is Coleman Hawkins on Tenor Sax. His sound is very unique. Hubert Rostaing is probably the clarinetist.

[jazzsaxboy]

Brilliant stuff. If you like the clarinet listen to Ken Poplowski and the International All Stars playing Benny Goodman. Just amazing stuff.

[XaeroEST]

One of the most refined solo section ever in a jazz song. The trio of the clarinet, the violin and the guitar is bedazzling. I would go as far to call it the first recorded usage of the "trade-off solo" style. Just marvelous.

[Wwukan]

Le saxophoniste a bouffé le chorus de Django, ça fait tache.

[vonder]

@Wwukan n importe quoi! ou est ce qu il "bouffe" son chorus?? d ailleurs ce saxophoniste est excellent!

[rlibos]

Simply the best there ever was.

[OlymPigs2010]

That Wonderful Dtwangy Djangy!

[Fabiendegryse]

Ceci n'est pas le Quintette du Hot club de France: on entend un saxophone ténor (d'ailleurs fortement inspiré par Coleman Hawkins, si ce n'est pas lui !), une clarinette et une batterie, en plus des contrebasse et guitares habituelles. Ca fait déjà au moins six musiciens ! Ca n'empêche que c'est jouissif !!!

[sickstring1]

My French is not very good, but I think Fabien is suggesting that this is NOT Le Quinette, n'est pas? I think he's correct. Any idea who the lineup is, then?

[beadcat]

@sickstring1

During WWII Django stayed in France while Grappelli stayed in London. He reformed the quintet w/Hubert Rostaing on clarinet (according to Wikipedia). Maybe that's who this is.

[RailroadBill76]

@beadcat ....Django called this ensemble the Nouveau Quintette, and yes..it is Hubert Rostaing on reeds, plus Pierre Fouad on drums. According to Dregni's biography, Django sought "a sonority that was light and airy, held to earth by a drummer. It's unclear to me who plays bass or rhythm guitar, and there may only be one additional guitar (with a very gentle pompe.)
