[Dixielandjazz] Gypsy Jazz instrumentation

Thanks, Beth,
Sandy Weltman is awesome on harmonica.  Pretty darn sure he's  doing all 
this with diatonic harmonica!  I did not know about this  group.  They're 
great in my opinion and I think they would big a big  draw at a jazz festival. 
 
Now on to check out Swing DeVille.

Hi  Norman,

I think you're absolutely right about the type of harmonica -  he plays
mostly single notes, instead of the normal chord style, and I  noticed
that while I was listening.

The band is called Hot Club  Caravan and they have a web site which has
links to a few youtube  postings:

>From  there I found clips of a different band with many of the same
players but  with two violinists instead of the harmonica - Swing DeVille
- also very  good.

Enjoy!
