RGT recorded "Minor Swing" very recently after a request from our friends at WDET in Detroit. They asked to use it as a backing track for a Friday A.M. Arts and Events Calendar. Mike, Tom and I likely never would have waxed this side considering how seminal the original Reinhardt/Grapelli version is - but a request is a request!
We opted to change it up by beginning the tune in G minor - "the key of human tragedy" and modulating into A minor, then finally C minor. Although this song is played by every Gypsy Swing band in the world, I still think we sound like RGT on the track. Arguably the most "gypsy-sounding" side we've ever cut - hope you enjoy it!
