Wow, love the jazz swing stuff. Seems like everybody who does a Gyspy Jazz Django cover does the Minor Swing. Certainly no argument there :) but I do have 5 albums of Django & that's not even on there, haha.

The first clip was good but I think the upright bassist looked quite more relaxed when he didn't have to play a harmonica. What do you guys think?

I'm not sure if I heard of Mariano Massolo but I really like his playing there. Only complaint might be that I think the harmonica is a little low in the mix? Seems he could've turned it up a notch or two without hurting anyone.

Oh -and thank you weetya for the turn on to Mariano. I don't know how I've missed him or why he's not discussed more here - but he is an extrodinary player.

Mariano Massolo is using a C harp in 4th to play A minor - am I right?
