Hello all,
I'm looking to download the "standard Gypsy jazz tunes" in preparation for Django in June. These are:
Dark Eyes,
Minor Swing,
Django's Castle,
Bossa Dorado,
Minor Blues,
Swing 42,
Swing Gitan,
Swing 39,
Douce Ambiance,
Djangology,
Daphne
Any advice on where I can find these downloads and recommendations on the "standard" interpretations? I play accordion so if possible I would like to listen to any versions featuring accordion.
There also is a list of recommended American Swing tunes and a Second Tier, if anyone can help.
For reference:

Thanks for any help.
