    Django followers of those years are all (Aleman included) moreless 10 years late in fact they play in the late forties - moreless- as Django did in the early thirties.
    So true.

    That's pretty good. With me, it's infinity. :(

    Damn, if only I could've had that job! I never would've retired!

    Looks good to me, vv!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I find Oscar’s style more relaxed than Django’s, not as athletic or dramatic or virtuostic...

    .... but possessed of a wonderful light touch and an innate sense of swing...

    ... and every now and then Oscar comes out with an unexpected little phrase that will grab you like a hook,

    ... like the wonderful two-triplet phrase in the bridge over bars 21- 22... it’s not hard to play, either, check it out... it’s one of the few out-and-out “lifts” I use when I play this tune on my occasional solo gigs using backing tracks...

    People seem to recognize the tune and and always like it.
