I went to Amazon to check their price for this 10 CD set. I was surprised to find that it was only 16 dollars! Naturally I had to click through and buy it.  |

Brings back memories of the Steve Martin / Michael Caine film "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels".

Best song of all times! Best guitar player of all times! Best jazz player of all times! Grappelli is also a great violinist!   |

Freaking amazing.
Has anybody seen Tony Gatlif's movie Swing? It's absolutely lovely and inspired by Django. If you like it, Gatlif's other movies are really worth watching too. They all revolve around music, mainly gypsy and Roma. Other favorites are Exils and Vengo. Enjoy :-) |

This sounds like it should be the soundtrack to a PG Wodehouse novel. I like it! |

This piece feels like he has tapped into my nervous system and given it a tweak and tune-up. Good stuff!

Bravo RP! One of my favorites. I've played this for hardcore rockers, and they typically say "whoa, those dudes are stroking it"
