    The only one on this list that I play regularly is Double Whiskey. It's basically just rhythm changes in C, but the head has that cool lick that goes to C# instead of C that makes it unique.

    There are some good tunes in that list - Stockholm is amazing, also Souvenirs, Swing 41, 12th Year has a real Western swing vibe. Vamp is one of Django's loveliest melodies and belongs in the same company as Nuages, Manoir, Anouman. There's a lot more to discover about Django as a composer than the handful of tunes we all jam on. If you can still find a copy, the Complete Django book is essential. (Not all of these tunes are Django's though - Gypsy with a Song for instance.)

    Pêche à la Mouche is a great tune. It's kind of like an upside-down rhythm changes. Really fun to jam on, and has maybe the best Django outro, ever.

    Here's a sparring version with Bireli and Stochelo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzfKyGQhbEU I dig that classical sounding thing Bireli does on the F#- bridge (~1:10)
