Definitely, I've been trying to source the individual tracks on Apple Music since this album in it's entirety isn't available there...I don't think. Really amazing to hear the originals. I'm just speaking for myself here but ya know, you think "Gypsy Jazz" over the years...blazing technique & single note lines, lot's of minor 6ths, La Pompe rhythm etc etc...but hearing these pieces & the harmonic thing is something I hadn't realized about Django in general. I just hadn't taken the time to delve into it. But that's just me! Really enjoying it!
Thanks Michael, yeah I've been staring at that book. I'm going to have to jump in and try to learn some of these at some point. Great site you have here!
