TUNE: Minor Swing
KEY: Am
TEMPO: 190bpm
STRUCTURE: Count in, Intro, Chorus x8, Outro
COMPOSER: Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli 1937
This is probably the most famous and copied violin swing solo ever. There are lots of backing tracks available of this tune but I've tried to make this as close to the original 1937 recording of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France as I could, so there is an intro with guitar harmony and bass runs, eight choruses and an outro with guitar harmony and bass runs.
At 190 bpm it's only slightly slower than the original (about 194 bpm) so this can be used for performance. Good luck! Don't forget to grab the (FREE) MP3 from my BANDCAMP account. Let me know if you'd like a slower "rehearsal" version :-) although if you open it in TRANSCRIBE you can slow it down to whatever speed you need.
