Hi all, Here's a jazz ballad. Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/la-coolitudeHere's an approximate translation : I'm calm very very calm I don't care about almost everything When I see you like this struggling in your adventures Because you tire me Always to criticize Always to complain When will you stop whining ? I stay away from you I have other dates And as usual I prefer calmness I'm calm very very calm Your little miseries don’t matter to me I look at you from very far away Do not call me as a witness You are hopeless To never be happy To find a little peace of mind I recommend calmness RD Jazz Brushes RT 732 Acoustic Bass RT 937 Acoustic Guitar RT 742 Piano RT 493 Trombone RT 495 Trumpet RT 2558 Cello

Nice work on this! The vocals work tremendously well with the instrumentation. I like the smoky vibes on it. It has a really classy sound that drew me in. The groove is great too. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

A terrific song with classic mouth trumpet too.
there's a LOT of room on Patrick's voice this time around - sounds like he's in the cafe but the band isn't. You might need to find a short dark delay or reverb to blend them a little more but it's as the title suggest - cool attitude dude.
Cheers

Chris,
Very cool old-style French jazz Chanson.
Nice melody and chord progression.
As if I were listening to Boris Vian, Mouloudji, or even Henri Sarvador.
I used to listen to them when I was in my 20s.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Thanks Deryk, David, Ray and Shigeki.
Yes, Ray, It's a good idea to add reverb on the instruments.
So, I've done it and the result is good for me. Christian

A very cool, slinky jazz sound.
I enjoyed the tone of the translated lyrics.

Chris,
Great jazz sound on this one. Ray has some good suggestions on the mix, particularly on aligning the sound of the vocal with the instrumentation—it’s a bit too forward for me as well. Matching the reverb I think would help. But a great listen nonetheless.
Hope all is good with you,
Deej

Hi Chris,
Jazz and you go together like like first places and gold medals. I always enjoy listening to what you come up with.
Patrick has done a fine job with the words and vocals, too.
An excellent effort.
Regards,
Noel

Nice ! , has a real Bar room feel to it and your vocals sounded nice and smoky given more to the atmosphere of the song, The separation sound of the band gives it a more realistic feel and more natural sound. Stops it being too clinical and more of a vinyl sound.
