Credenza 1926 & 78rpm Encounter #139 - Stephane Grappelli & Django Reinhardt "You're Driving Me Crazy" (1937)

The 1999 film directed by Woody Allen, "Sweet and Lowdown".

The setting is Chicago during the 1930s, the golden age of jazz.
Emmet Ray, a genius jazz guitarist played by Sean Penn, lives a dissolute life with ties to the underworld and prostitutes, but he meets a mute woman and finds himself drawn to her simplicity and kindness... At first glance, this film feels like a documentary drama depicting a real-life guitarist.
The biggest reason for this is that the protagonist claims, "Django Reinhardt is the best in the world, and I am the second greatest genius." While it is by no means a depiction of Django himself, one cannot help but want to superimpose Django Reinhardt onto him.

Born in Belgium with Gypsy (Romani) blood, Django Reinhardt (January 23, 1910 – May 16, 1953) was the most important figure in contributing to jazz becoming a highly popular music not only in America but also in Europe, and he was the very person who elevated the guitar, which had been an accompaniment and rhythm instrument, to a solo instrument for playing melodies (even earlier than Charlie Christian in America).
It is no exaggeration to call him the "founding father of jazz guitar."

It is fair to say that his prime was during his time active as the Quintet Of The Hot Club Of France (a jazz group consisting of five string players in total: Django, Grappelli, two guitars, and one bass), a unit with Stéphane Grappelli (January 26, 1908 – December 1, 1997), a pioneer of jazz violin, just as Django was in the world of guitar.

This time, I am playing the US Victor 10-inch record of "You're Driving Me Crazy," recorded on April 21, 1937, at Studio Albert in Paris, on a Credenza gramophone.

In a word: "Cool."
