Black Trombone (Serge Gainsbourg) - Live with Annie and Denis

Just picked up a wonderful acoustic piece https://soundcloud.com/ddjohn/no-words-just-chords by my friend Steph and added spontaneous solo guitar. Evening relaxation.

Also I enhanced original track with my mastering, so Steph's acoustic guitar sounds brighter and drums really rock.

Flying away! (Collaboration with DDJohn)

Back Home by DD John

I asked Stéphane if he would consider playing some clarinet on this little tune of mine, and he came up with this magnificent arrangement... That's the DDJohn effect! Welcome on board.

Clarinet: Stéphane (https://soundcloud.com/ddjohn)
Voice, ukulele, guitar: Alexis

Dansons!

Quand le bateau coule
Quand le monde croule
Et les cœurs sont transis

Qu’il n’y a plus d’appel
Ni terre ni ciel
Si sombre soit la nuit

Dansons, dansons
Quitte à rester debout
Happés par la foule anonyme
Eh bien trémoussons-nous

Dansons, dansons
Au milieu des remous
Seule ou lasse, faites-moi signe
Pour danser avec vous

Fi de la panade
De la débandade
Au diable les soucis

Le démon m’appelle
A entrer en selle
Et le bon Dieu aussi

Dansons...

Dansons! (with the DDJohn Clarinet Section)
