Been listening to a lot of Django Reinhardt recently. I'm no jazz expert, but I love it when a musician takes a standard and is really inventive in the way s/he works through the melody (Miles Davis's "Someday my Prince Will Come" is another example I love).
And, when you listen to the double-time part at the end, realize he only played with two fingers due to injuries sustained nearly burning to death when he was eighteen.
