Love Django. I was a teenager into heavy rock and the usual, a mate played a Quintette album and was knocked out by it. The sheer joy and zip of the whole lot of them, let lone the violin & guitar skill. Was lucky enough to see Stephane Grappeli once.
Me dog's called Django : )

Give Django a cuddle for me
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I heard this recording playing from a market stall in Montalivet a few weeks ago and immediately guessed who it was
Mind boggling how he echoes the clarinet part. And the whole song is diminished chords. Utterly bonkers and so inventive
My Granddad actually played with Stephane sometime during WW2 when he was based in the UK - again at a concert in Derby
My dad, who is an ex pro sax player and big into jazz, always puts Stephane down as the finest jazz musician

Proper amazing guitar hero.
I must say that I also love Rosenberg's stuff, he's almost like a reincarnation of Django. He owes it all to Django though, like all of us standing on the shoulders of giants.
