Hi all,
In the middle of this piece, the chord progression doesn't change but the tempo is twice faster.

RT 711 then 718 acoustic bass
RT 1210 then 1199 rythm guitar
RT 1965 then 1620 clarinet
RT 1213 then 1203 solo guitar
RT 1752 rythm accordion

The melody is played with an accordion (Yamaha QY700).

Very nice. Sounds like a theme from a movie with Paris as its theme. Very cool

Very nice!! Pretty music. Sometimes the clarinet (which works great) and guitar solos clash a bit- a little too busy. Great job! Take care. Greg

Thanks Greg for your good advice.
I've muted the solo guitar when the clarinet was playing !

Well produced

Hi Christian.

Very atmospheric. Very "Inspector Maigret".

Loved the whole thing and the tempo change was inspired.

Great mix - everything working well together.

Your best yet, I think.

Great arrangement Chris.
The accordion slots in with good realism.

That was a very atmospheric tune instantly recognizable as from France, beautiful.

I agree with the others this is one of your best.
Keep them coming laugh

Not much to say that hasn't been said except that I like your imagination in trying to find the spirit of one the greatest jazz guitarist in the world. Django Reinhardt played with a handicap and it's incredible that he could even do so. I think that you captured the mood very well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! We are long time fans of Django and Stephane so it was easy to get right into this.

Enjoyed it.

PS the tempo changes work well

You captured Django perfectly.

Perhaps you can do another but this time share the leads with a violin?

Excellent post so two thumbs up.
