Joe Venuti & Eddie Lang - Doin' Things download song

Wonderful music and performers.  Venuti is my great uncle.

OK, I looked up matelot--an old French reference to a bedmate. But now I guess it only refers to a British sailor.

Lovely images of folks ... doin' things -- set to one of my all-time favorite sides in the world. You put such fabulous pictures in my head, to go with these classic recordings.

According to British jazz writer Charles Fox this tune is based on one of Debussy's preludes - "La Fille aux cheveux de lin."

This presentation was briliant, thank you! It perfectly matches this great music.

What a nice tune,, so full of little nuance's from Lang's guitar, and Venuti's violin,,,,,, wonderful!!!

Thanks for all the background info not everyone who listens to this is an expert.

So far ahead of their times.  Lang was a monster.

Superb cafe/chamber style jazz....long live this trio in our digital age ! Great graphics by the way !

Great panorama of ye olde New York, but I myself would call it Hopper--esque. As in picturesque. Why do these faces from the long departed seem to look so happy?

I read somewhere that Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli were influenced by these two musicians so I had to look 'em up. Glad I found this music.
