In the DVD "Stephane Grappelli, a life in jazz" the first time we see the caravan referenced, we hear Django playing a slow tune on the violin in the background (apparently before his injury). My question: what tune is he playing? I've heard it several times, but can find no refernce to the title. Anyone know?
Violin's swing the best!

    Don't know about the slow piece you mentioned, but here are a couple of cuts of Django on violin from the 1940's:




    and here's one where he plays a bowed bass solo:

    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."
