Have you not been reading the comments on here? Stephane Grapelly did NOT play on this track. The violin soloist is Michel Warlop. This was his signature tune and that's why he was so heavily featured.

Too much Stephane, not enough Django.

You were only half right. This is built on the changes to Swinging With Django, which was recorded a little before this was.

C'était le chef d'oeuvre de Michel Warlop Il montre ce qui est possible quand vous avez la meilleure éducation en musique classique, la technique qui ne rend rien impossible, la passion au delà de la croyance et l'intensité comme elle n'a jamais existé Warlop a gagné beaucoup de prix et a été un des trois ou quatre meilleurs violonistes du 20ème siècle. Django Reinhardt et Louis Vola à étaient également présents le 21 décembre 1937 pour enregistrer le disque 13 dans le catalogue de Disques Swing

This was the masterpiece of Michel (Michou) Warlop. It shows what is possible when you have the best classical music education available, technique that makes nothing impossible, passion beyond belief and intensity like never before existed. Warlop won many prizes and was called one of the three or four best violinists of the 20th century. Django Reinhardt on guitar and Louis Vola on bass were also present on 21 December 1937 to record disc 13 in the catalog of Disques 'Swing'.

Merci pour Warlop trop souvent oublié

[Disques13Swing]

Warlop was famous for nervosity but I think the critics were wrong. I strongly believe that Michou was lifelong ADHD. I feel that's where all his energy, power, creativity and passion came from. This fits with what we know about ADHD now but was all unknown back then. Even his alcohol problem fits with ADHD. I'm no expert, but I've lived wih it for 6-plus decades. I identify with Warlop's music more than anyone else's. It's like he's been speaking to me over the past 30 years with his playing.
