Hi Jack
This will work great! It will save me from having to write it out.
I know I need the practice but i also need the time.
Thanks

Jack,

Very cool transcription! I thought I had all the Django transcription books - but this book looks mew to me. What is the book and how can I get it?

Thanks!

I only knew the all guitar version by Django. In looking for more background on the song, I searched on the author Gus DeLoof and found the following on Youtube. Note the label with Phillipe Brun and Gus DeLoof on trumpets, so I'm guessing this might be the original recording. Also Django, Stephane (on piano) and Louis Vola as side men. Pretty cool, eh?.

Yeah - this was a popular horn tune before Django recorded it.

I don't think it was a book, but just standard sheet music. It came to me via another collector; here's the cover. (There's also a bass chart that has already been posted in the bass forum.)

Hi everybody,

Regarding Bouncin around, this title was recorded to be nice to Gus Deloof. This title had recently been composed by Gus Deloof. But it was not known at all (it was even called "Rythm in G Minor" on the recording session sheet). Gus just whistled it to Django who never had heard this tune before, and a few minutes later he was recording the tune for the first time with Loulou Gasté and Eugène d'Hellemmes (on 9sept1937).
A second version was recorded on 3aug1938 with Philippe Brun and his swing band.
Regarding the music sheet posted by Jack (Hi Jack), I confirm it is a music sheet printed in Belgium in 1980 (the kind of things rather hard to find now).
Best

Hi, i'm just working on "Bouncing around". I transcribe the solo and it in TAB and in normal Notation.

So here I am transcribing "Bouncing around", just doing my way of notation and then I discoverd how the Transcriber Chas Dolne tried to capture the Swing feeling in his notation. Just look at the first bar. The way I do it is to notate it straight and applying the swing feel while playing.
It seems like a great job been done by Chas Dolne, but didn't he make it very complicated for himself doing that?

How do you guys handle this ?
