I saw Stephane Grappelli perform a couple of times in the 70’s and it’s wonderful to see this video

I have played jazz with Nigel even when he was only a young teenager, he had a propensity to improvise. However, on this tune (Swing 39) he and his ensemble are using the wrong chords, I have heard the chords that Nigel plays , played by many others in past times, but they are wrong and the entire tune sounds cock-eyed in consequence. I suggest that someone with a good ear, listens to the original recording by Django and Stephane, and sits down with a guitar and sorts this problem out. The chords are as follows: Key G. G- G6- G- G6- G -B9-C9-B9--- G-G6-G-G6-G-B9-C9-E----B9-C9-B9-C9-B9-C9-B9 --- G-G6-G-G6-G-B9-C9-B9-E.

Makes no difference to Nigel what the changes are. He just plays effects and gimmicky noises. Total crap.He even got to record for Blue note label. WTFFFFF.
