Hey, do any of you have / know of a version of "Minor Swing" done by Count Basie? Does this even exist, or was it only done by Django Reinhardt?

Allmusic doesn't list anything by Basie. There are several from other performers but most are either Django or Grappelli.

There are versions by contemporary groups that you may have heard. A couple common versions are by Johnathan Stout and the Campus Five and the Boilermaker Jazz Band.
