I play this song a lot in my trio (straight-ahead jazz style, not manouche) and remembered that Stephane and Django did a pretty nice ballad version of this song on guitar and violin.
Does anyone else love to play this song?
Do you play it in D-flat (Db)? A-Flat (Ab)?
How do you arrange it? (e.g., guitar plays rhythm and fills? violin plays melody and solo? guitar plays lead? trumpet/bass play intro and guitar/violin play the rhythm/solos?)
I'm just curious. All responses are welcome.
In the meantime, check out Gainsbourg's version with really nice playing from the rhythm section (electric guitar and contrebasse):
