Who's the clarinet player? That is a nice solo, and it's kind of refreshing that they didn't feel the need (as so many modern players do) to rip through at breakneck speed. Django's 1937 recording is rather laid back as well.

Lol... you know I'm a reeds player at heart ;-)

Here's a push for any cat who knows the taste of bamboo.

I agree with you on the clarinet here. The clarinetist is Rostaing and the alto sax is Ekyan. In that theme and solo he has a quite different approach compared to the records done with Django, he really swings more than when playing with Django.

Can anyone tell me what year that was recorded.

It should be on august 1958...

MINOR SWING (Véga 30 805) 3’40
SWING 42 (Véga 30 805) 3’01
PLACE DE BROUCKÈRE (Véga 30 805) 3’32

“NOTRE AMI DJANGO” : Hubert Rostaing (cl) ; André Ekyan (as) ; Stéphane Grappelli (vln) ; René Urtréger, Maurice Vander (p) ; Henri Crolla (g) ; Emmanuel Soudieux (b) ; Allan Levitt (dm) ; Géo Daly (vib).

Thanks Spatzo. You are a true font of django wisdom

Now I would love to add an mp3 to this thread but :oops: I have no idea how.

Farewell Blues, Benny Carter and his all stars featuring Django circa 1936 -37

I have been on a Benny Carter kick lately, mostly his earier stuff. Somemore great licks to steal on that one.

See if you can find the lick in one of the sax solos that is very much the same as a Django lick in Blues Clair

In Delauney's book he comments about Benny being the only one who could kep up with Django at one of the hot late night jams they had
