You can pick up some pretty decent remastered comps these days like the 'Swing de Paris box set, put out this year. 103 toons. In Europe the gipsy jazz scene is pretty popular.Its worth checking out current great players like Fapy Lafertin, Bireli Lagrene.

What's most amazing about Django was that he could only use his index and middle finger on his left hand as the other 2 were burnt in an accident.
