OT: How about some instrumentals

[Bigboote]

I don't think I've seen anything by Django posted yet. If so, I find that a bit shocking. Here are Django and Stephane with a classic:

Love this one, I bought the 45. (As an oldie, I feel the need to add)

I heard the story on some show that the album came in a few minutes short so Hugh just threw this one in as filler.

The Quintet of the Hot Club of Paris was one of the top groups anywhere in the thirties. Here's another one from them, including Django. J'Attendrai is a French classic. Jean Sablon's rendition is the best IMO. Django Reinhart The Quintet of the hot club of France Jattendrai Swing 1939

This is one from the spaghetti westerns back around 1970:

Guys, we are really killing it - some deep cobwebs in my ancient brain are getting tingled..!

This is an amazing, rhythmic, pulsating instrumental by a German jazz band named Guru Guru..

Of course there's the first "jass" recording ever...1917. It's actually pretty good. "Livery Stable Blues"

Pretty good cover of the Roy Buchanan song, "Sweet Dreams."

I bought the album. Yikes! All of the other songs were no where near as good as Grazing in the Grass. Did not like them. I still have the album. The Grazing in Grass tracks are worn out. The other tracks are pristine.

I thought I'd slip this one in when no one was listening

Sea Level - a spin off from the Allman Brothers Band, these guys did some great jazz-rock back in the 70's:

Don't be deceived by the simple beginning of this one. Richard Farina did an incredible job putting together a half-dozen folk tunes; he was an incredible dulcimer player, and Mimi was an underrated guitar player. They were both taken from us way too early.

I never cease to be impressed and grateful for the musical eclecticism you and others bring to these threads. Dug out “Reflections In A Crystal Wind” upon seeing the Richard and Mimi Farina reference and enjoyed the heck out of it, been many years. Both sisters, Mimi and Joan, are very, very underrated guitarists. Thanks again to all on these threads for sharing.
