My personal favourite use of this scale by Django was in his amazing solo on "Honeysuckle Rose"... sound clip attached.
The WT stuff happens in bars 9 to 16 of the chorus, right after Django's initial bare-bones statement of the melody; I've just posted those parts.
I learned to play this one note-for-note with the aid of an excellent transcription I bought for six bucks at a rival website: http://www.djangosolos.com
It took me about six weeks to learn it and I can play the whole thing now very successfully at 85-90% speed, but when I try to keep up with Django's tempo at 100%, I generally can't make it all the way through without a trainwreck... ... oh, well, maybe by the year 2015... :?:

Paul Cezanne: "I could paint for a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing."
Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."
