Nice! I'm not well versed in jazz, but I do love Django Reinhardt and I assume that song was written for/about him?

Here's a bunch of wicked talented guys playing Dark Eyes

Yes, “Django” was written in memory of the Belgian gipsy guitarist by the leader of the MJQ, John Lewis. It became their signature piece at every one of MJQ’s concerts.
