Gypsy Swing

Update 3/7/06 -- changed link to film to a locally cached version.

A short (4 minute) film of Django Reinhardt and his band, including Stephane Grapelli is available on WFMU's Beware of the Blog.

A newsreel-style announcer introduces the band as they lounge around a room, smoking and playing cards while a young Django and Stephane Grappelli lightly jam. Then it goes into a full blown performance of the Quintet.

There's a short segment with really bad lighting in the middle, but it clears up quickly. The sound is good, and Django is, not surprisingly, awesome.
