I love the smile on Eddie Lang's face. :)

Djano & Stephane would have given them a double thumbs-up. Perfect pairing, pure virtuosity.
Feel free to drop by my swing blog which was recently praised by the great Marc Myers of JazzWax -- for link see my profile.
See you, THX and All best,
Brewnuti

They make it look so easy!

Django didn't like Joe and Eddie at all. He called Eddie's playing uninspired, and said there was nothing to learn from it.

Been a fan of Eddie Lang's since 1980 - what an amazing guitarist!! All due respect to Joe Venuti, brilliant violin player as he was,but Venuti lived to be an old man and celebrated artist, while Lang died so young (some say this haunted Bing Crosby for the rest of his life, as he advised Eddie to do something with his tonsils, which went badly wrong).As much as I love and respect Reinhardt & Graphelli; Lang & Venuti were there first, and many seem to forget that. Both duos deserve honor, but..

Music used to smile more. This is some - but not all - of the real, great 'shite'. If you like jazz violin do check out Stuff Smith as well.

Incredibile !!!!! Precisi e grande musicalità. Belli gli accordi con i bassi e i suoi rivolti eseguiti da Eddie Lang .



OK, I've received a message from one of the posters regarding the slanging match going on here. Any more slurs and slanging and the comments will be removed.
