Is This Genuine?

I just found this on YouTube. Is it for real? If it is, it's lovely!

They sound like they have been sampling some earthly delights

Gives a fresh perception of the composition. If you like tight vocal chords, this should do the trick.
Wonder what, who, when?

From this album (see attached image). Part of the complete Django Reinhardt collection "Intégrale Django Reinhardt".

Notes from the booklet about this tune:
Jean SABLON (voc, p, commentaires/speech); Django REINHARDT (g, rires, paroles, eparsses/laughters, speech); Naguine REINHARDT (rires, paroles eparsses, chant a bouche fermee/laughters, speech, humming), 29/02/1936 (Jean Sablon's home, 168, boulevard Malescerbe, XVII eme arr. -Amateur recordings made on a "Soubitez" machine by J.S. himself).

Jeff Moore

Thanks! Never heard this before.

If anything it's proof that Naguine was also musical to some extent.

Thanks so much for posting. I've never heard this before. I enjoy it more than I can say! Sounds like it was a fun day at Sablon's house.

The "Soubitez" was actually a wire recorder and that's why this sounds the way it does. And it was supposedly Naguine who actually taught the teenaged Matelot Ferret the chords to "Sugar" when they caught him listening at the keyhole to their hotel room.
