My tastes don't "jive" with anyone (I don't care for jive). :-) Mine jibe most closely with Waverly's, probably, as I don't like traditional jazz but I do like 40s "pop."
Also, points for Django Reinhardt as I would totally have answered that to "What music is playing in Illya's apartment?" had that been a choice! I totally see him loving Reinhardt - he would empathize with the hard-luck geniuses like that.
I’ll admit to being introduced to Django Reinhardt when I first watched the movie Chocolat and swooned over the soundtrack. Minor Swing I wrote a story that has Illya and Django... something... I need to find it.
Hard to live up to, though. Once when my bandmates and I were visiting Pismo, we saw a Django Reinhardt tribute band. Yes, there is such a thing. They were from a local conservatory, they were all about 12 (to our aged eyes) and they were freakin' AWESOME. Imagine kids today being into Django Reinhardt enough to put together a tribute band. Amazing.
I love that clip of the Nitty Gritty. That boy dancer in the front is SELLING IT! Dancing his little heart out. Makes the rest of them look like they are standing still.
