Love this one to bits. Nice use of the two accordions in the backing. Perfectly balanced.Has that wonderful French / gypsy feel to it.

We've always enjoyed Django and Stéphane so this
was very enjoyable.

Great representation of the Gypsy Jazz genre!

Nice heels up waltz.
The RT for the acoustic solo seems to drop a bit here & there - comping or in the original?
I think both solos are a little strident and loud given the backing but that's just my oversensitive ears I suspect.

Very different indeed Mike but in a good way. Really enjoyed this piece. Some very cool stuff going on here. Usually think of waltzes as laid back but this one really jumps out a you. Very cool mix

Very nice to hear something different on this forum, enjoyable world music. Those soloist fiddle and gypsy guitar sound amazing with the beautiful chord progression.

Nicely done - a unique take on what I usually think of when I heard 'waltz' but it certainly grabs your attention. Some great progressions here, and it flows tremendously well. Makes for a really interesting and engaging listen.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk
