"Minor Swing" is a gypsy jazz tune composed by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, first recorded by their group The Quintet of the Hot Club of France in 1937. It is considered to be one of Reinhardt's signature compositions, as well as a jazz standard of the swing era. "Minor Swing" is written in the key of A minor. Apart from the brief introduction and final coda (or playout), there is no discernible melody, just a repeated sequence of chord changes over which the key players improvise until, by some mutual agreement, the end is decided, at which point the playout is performed
