One of my all time favorites. I'm glad to see you corrected the ”Greg” Lombardo reference. Carmen Lombardo actually has partial writing credit, and the song was originally performed by Guy Lombardo's orchestra. I've run across a few vocalists who sing this in Bb, which I think is Lombardo's original key. However, most gypsy jazz players play it in D.
I would like to have the transcription of solos : how do I operate ? (I have bought the book "Exploring jazz violin",v very interesting, many thanks...
Hi Jacques. You can get the pdf of the music shown on screen here by emailing me at haighchris@hotmail.com. Anything else I played (such as the solo at the end) was improvised and therefore not written out.

Yes, sorry about the Greg. Often my mouth works faster than my brain!

Please don't knock bass players Chris, we basically solo throughout pieces, it's just the fiddle players do their best to drown us out
