Gypsy Jazz-Minor Swing

September 9th, 2009

I’ve been working on Minor Swing for over a year now.  Today I recorded it at 200 beats per minute-I posted it to the player at the right.  Just to keep things simple there’s only one track of rhythm.  I’m playing Django’s solo from 1937, then a short bit of improvising.

A few years ago I bought two compilation sets of Django and it has been very helpful to have these in my cell phone to listen to whenever I get the chance. I’ve listened to the track at least a hundred times.
