Keeping up the French connection, here's Django Reinhardt live, from 1945:

Only 1;42, but it's enough. Including one of his astonishing runs at 0:42 - using only two fingers of his left hand after an early injury left his fourth and fifth fingers partially paralyzed.

Jattendrais takes some time to get going, but it all kicks off around the 1:30 mark.

    And Grappelli on violin. For some reason, everyone leaves him out.
