I think I do a quick F#m7 B7 thing there. I’m most familiar with the bireli and stochelo recording
Where's that transcription from BTW?!
Is there an updated Django 2008 fake book???
This is great, thx man! It echos what Gian said too, that the Rosenbergs and Dutch players in particular always play a B7. And yeah, I listened to it again a bit slower last night and heard the E but it also sounds like the piano player has subtle variations to his voicings each progression. It's too bad we don't have the original charts, if there were any at all lol
I kinda took a deep dive isolating and slowing down sections and figuring it out by ear. I'm 99.9 % positive the bass plays B at that spot. It's clearly heard at 0:39 when Django starts his solo and the bass plays an octave higher and the bass plays (/symbol is a bar sign)
/Eb F/F# /FEb C/B
When they start the melody, in the bar 4 I hear piano playing B13/9. But in 0:32 during the last it's much easier to hear a B7 triad.
It's interesting how various charts are all over the place when it comes that diminished chord, some show Ao, some Gbo and some Ebo. The piano plays a simple Ebo triad; Eb, A, C. Sure they're all enharmonic but harmonically they sound different and impart a different flavor.
Also on the recording, during the turnaround, bar 7 , Django hits Bb octave suggesting they don't play ii V, just the V chord. It's almost like he's telling us "hey, it's just Bb here!". In the B section also it's just the V chord.
As far as E7, looks like the piano plays E13 instead of Bb7 at the end of first melody chorus, probably other places but I didn't listen to each one, so they were thinking tritone there.
It's from the Djypsy Djazz Djam book, available here: https://djangobooks.com/forum/uploads/947/HOSNM0KUVKYZ.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOoqV8uvZzYDuWwkpzNH5Aj5Pe0KSlo-SghtDWUsCcYN1GgUcGvy9
There have been several attempts to update and improve the Fakebook over the years but none have supplanted it. I think we're stuck with it now unfortunately!
