TOTALLY Brilliant take on this Mes Amis, the best I've ever heard. Bravo !!!

I love the recording and arrangement on this and that beautiful voice.

Aha! Finally got one of these to play. :)))

Very original.... the way you have made this sound like a vinyl recording of a live performance.

J'ai toujours envie d'gueuler ...et cela me défrise toujours l'épine dorsale (San Sévérino)  !! Bravo !!

pue and fantastic music. top shelf performance. vocally awesome

love this! this really captures that smoky jazz club sound

A taster track from the forthcoming album of smoky Parisienne  jazz club recordings, 'restored from the original 78s'. The amazing Luciole Langevine https://soundcloud.com/luciole-langevine and guest musicians from around the world. Une travail d'amour, a labour of love,  for me - more a curator than a musician on these. Album release date to be confirmed, I started them in June 2015. There may be special vinyl editions. We'll let you know.
Luciole Langevine Voix • Alain Proust Guitare • Rudi Bakken Accordéon • Barry Snaith Supplémentaire guitare et supplémentaire accordéon • Produced by The Inconsistent Jukebox • Composed by Michel Emer

Here are the lyrics translated  into English, although the French sounds so perfect. But if you're fluent in French you'll know all the words. But these aren't just lyrics, you can read an entire life in here:

The prostitute is beautiful. Over there on the corner she has a client
who fills her stockings up. When her job is done she goes on her way
looking for her little dream at a dancehall in the suburbs.
Her man is an artist. He's a strange  little guy, an accordionist (who knows how to play the java.
She hears the java but she doesn't dance. She doesn't even look at the dancefloor. Her loving eyes follow the vigorous playing and the wiry, long fingers of the artist. It gets under her skin. From the bottom,. From the top. She has the urge to sing, it's physical. All of her being is tensed.
Her breath is held.
It's a work of art shaped by the music.

The prostitute is sad over there on the corner. 
Her accordionist left to be a soldier. When he comes back from war they will have a house. She will be the cashier and he will be the boss. How beautiful life will be. They'll be true big-shots. And every night for her he'll play the java.

She hears the java that she hums softly. She looks again at her accordionist and her loving eyes follow the vigorous playing and the wiry, long fingers of the artist. It gets under her skin. From the bottom, from the top. She has the urge to cry, it's physical. All of her being is tensed.
Her breath is held. It's a work of art shaped by the music

The prostitute is alone over there on the corner. 
The men don't want the girls who are sulking. And too bad if she dies - her man is never coming back. Farewell to all of those beautiful dreams. Her life is fucked.
Nevertheless, her tired legs take her to the dive where there's another artist who plays all night long....

She hears the java. She listens to the java... She closes her eyes...
Those wiry, vigorous fingers. It gets under her skin. From the bottom, from the top .She has the urge to yell out. It's physical. 
And so, to forget, she begins to dance, to turn..
To the sound of the music...
STOP!
Stop the music...

I've had the very good fortune and honour to associate my own music here on SC with some truly astounding  and generous graphic & surrealist artists: Smiler Street Art (London) https://www.facebook.com/smilerstreetart/, Eric Lacombe (France) http://www.ericlacombe.com/home.php, Belgian surrealists Mothmeister https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/mothmeister. Please do look at their work, you won't be disappointed. Stay here and listen a while first though.
I'm also finding other amazing stuff here on Soundcloud that I would have never heard elsewhere, a few of them I've had the pleasure to collaborate with.: Heidi Harris, Konokunok, Narcisse Noyé, Dolll, Richard Devine, Joaquin Mendoza, Vasco Morais, Keldari Station, Musicaserj, & Cathrinta, Luciole Langevine, Renaud Deback, Lola Demo, Anda Volley, Ang Kerfoot, Dana Dau, Chris Pendergraft, Faerytale and many more. I could go on (and usually do). Check them out, you won't hear their like in many other places. 
Also look out for my playlists here on Soundcloud which feature other artists: 'Favourites From The Cloud', 'Soundscapes'  and 'The Siren, She Sings' (which also has a blog). You may even be in one of them.

Thanks to Isaac for my (full) name. Check out his eerie upload, https://soundcloud.com/aminimalvirus/inconsistent-jukebox. Genius. It crept up on me late one night (one of those tracks that you didn't select but came on in someone else's stream) and I genuinely thought I was going mental. When you hear it you'll see what I mean.
