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 1383 Solo Acoustic Guitar

RT 1197 Fiddle

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.
