Hi all,
Here's a gypsy jazz song.
Patrick fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/swing-jam

Here's an approximate translation :

A barge is leaving for a trip
bringing us back Django’s tempo
Sailing with a discreet look
A little dandy or even hidalgo
Meeting a trailer
Where an accordion tune is coming from
Then a talk starts
Between strings and buttons

Chorus:
There’s a jam in the gypsy way
There’s a jam for a java
There’s a jam in the gypsy way
There’s a jam and jazz is here

They had things to say
No lounge gossips
It all started with a laugh
Between the bass and the violin
A fellow on a bicycle arrives
With a cardboard box
And he takes out a clarinet
It was not a kazoo

RT 2404 Acoustic Guitar

RT 1383 Solo Acoustic Guitar
RT 1384 Solo Acoustic Guitar
RT 1197 Fiddle
RT 1619 Clarinet
Soni Musicae Accordion

Thanks Janice, Bud and Floyd.
I hope Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, wherever they are, will appreciate this song ! Christian

Really liked sound of acoustic bass. Liked whatever you are doing for effect on the vocals during the chorus parts. Enjoyed the listen.

Hi Chris and Patrick,

Wow!!!

This is great listening. I love the band that's been assembled here. You really have captured 1950s jazz club sound and feel so, so well. Everything about this is excellent.

I totally enjoyed where this musical journey carried me.

Regards,
Noel

I was already hooked with the second line of the first verse:
"bringing us back Django’s tempo "

So much to enjoy about this production.

Yes, Stephane would nod in agreement.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
