Mélodie au Crépuscule

"Mélodie au Crépuscule" is a composition by Django Reinhardt and Lawrence Riesner, first recorded by Django Reinhardt et son orchestre in 1943. The title translates to "Melody at Twilight," and the piece is noted for its uncharacteristically slow tempo, offering a reflective contrast to Reinhardt's typically faster compositions. The 1946 recording features Django Reinhardt and his brother Joseph Reinhardt on guitars, with Stéphane Grappelli on violin, capturing the quintet's distinctive gypsy jazz style. ​
