    Let's say exactly André Petitjean nicknamed "Dedjean" and the tune was composed as "Stéphane Stomp"

    SACEM Copyright Database indicates that "Stéphane Stomp" usually known as "Swing Gitan" has been composed by André (Petitjean) Dedjean along with Alphonse "Totol" Masselier (double bass player that played with Django) and André Beaume who wrote the lyrics, it has been edited by Emilhenco in Paris.

    Here you go. He was using the same Gibson Barney Kessel back then, too. I'm not 100% sure when this was recorded, sometime in the 70s when this kind of thing was popular in France.

    I thought at first sight someone had posted Albert Lee on here ! I have a 7 inch EP by Andre Dedjean on the Bleu label which includes both Nuages and Minor Swing and has a printed line claiming "Champion de France de Guitare 1964". I wonder what he did to win that? I read somewhere that it was held at the Olympia (one of the biggest venues in Paris) so was there some sort of all-star jam or 'cutting contest'? Anyone know who else was involved?

    Are you thinking about the 1970 "Nuit des Gitanes" at the Olympia? It was a memorial concert for Sarrane Ferret, and it really was an All-Star jam, with many big names in attendance: Baro, Matelot, Boulou and Challain Ferret, Rene Mailhes, Maurice Ferre and Joseph Pouville, Jacques Montagne, Babik Reinhardt, Stephane Grapelly and Antoine Ciosi. No Andre Dedjean, though - at least not on my cassette...
  • Interesting middle bit @scot thanks for including that mp3
