The legendary guitarist  Django  Reinhardt, aided by the famous jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli  and the “Hot Club de France”, created a world-famous style of music that has lost none of its  magnetism down to the present day: “Gypsy Swing”.  In this volume the pieces range from  Django’s  repertory to American jazz standards and  Hungarian  csardas  hits. The use of a classical Gypsy  String ensemble is presupposed:  violin, solo guitar, rhythm guitar, and double bass. The use of three guitars  is equally  permissible, or, if necessary, only one.<br>
<br>
These eleven arrangements are written for variable combinations consisting of melody part, accompaniment part, one or two parts with guitar patterns, and bass.<br>
