Thanks JazzDawg, the recording witrh Django only had the legit melody on the A section (clarinet) and when Django solos on the B section of course he has to improvise!
That tune has that run-a-way freight train rhythm goin' on, doesn't it! Man, I really love to watch a good rhythm player work out on that tune. Take a look at this example by the Rosenberg Trio backstage warming up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_TSkHMWFOA

Yes, Django rarely played melodies. It just wasn't his thing.
