======================================================
A traditional Russian klezmer tune Yosl Yosl that has become a favourite of Gypsy Jazz musicians. It's also been recorded in hundreds of different versions with lyrics in dozens of languages.

It's a great tune for practicing the minor 2-5, like Minor Swing, you can throw in the b9 on the E7 (F) for an exotic "klezmer" sound.

An up-tempo version featuring Jason Anick
