Check out the Dirt Daubers stuff for some old standards simplified down to an old timey style. Search youtube as they're recorded catalog isn't very large.

I find out that I was looking for Gypsy jazz guitar and just gypsy guitar.
I was thinking something really from 1800-1939.
reminds me of Pokey Lafarge & the South City Three check them out if you haven't, they got the 20s jazz rhythm's goin on.
