“Minor Swing” is a Gypsy jazz standard written by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli in 1937. It was first recorded on November 25, 1937, on the French label Swing by the Quintet of the Hot Club of France in 1937. Stuart Nicholson wrote about the Quintet in his book Jazz: A Beginner’s Guide, and observed that the striking thing about Reinhardt and Grappelli’s group was that “they sounded quintessentially European at a time when everyone else in jazz sounded quintessentially American. The implication was clear – you didn’t have to “sound” American, or indeed be American, to play authentic jazz.”
