The recording
The seminal 1937 recording of 'Minor Swing' was recorded in Paris on November 25, 1937. The track features the Quintette du Hot Club de France, consisting of Django Reinhardt on lead guitar, Stéphane Grappelli on violin, Joseph Reinhardt and Eugène Vées on rhythm guitars, and Louis Vola on double bass. Played at approximately 200 BPM, the recording is characterized by the 'la pompe' rhythm technique and Django's virtuosic, two-fingered improvisational style captured in a natural, dry acoustic studio setting.
