Can we talk about how great this is? About how smooth and nimble the phrasing is, how the chords just ripple, how the melodies keep holding you in anticipation?

i couldn't name one django reinhardt song, but i do remember being about 6 when my dad was living at home, and he'd play this song that had a chorus like 'down in nagasaki where the boys all chew tobaccy and the girls go wiccy-waccy-woo'. i thought this and thriller were the most amazing sounds ever

It is. It was a bit of a standard in its day, and I expect you can find a few dozen recordings of it, if you care to look.
