This Django tune seems to go by many names and is commonly played either as a bossa nova (Latin, straight eight’s) or ballad (slow). I personally like it as a ballad and think it is very beautiful. On the original Hot Club recording, Django played the melody on guitar with Stephane filling in between with improvised flourishes. I like to do the opposite with violin simply playing these long beautiful tones and the guitar playing riffs in between.
