Manouche forever

Chez Jacquet (Pierre Ferret)

Django's tiger (Django Reinhardt)

Le Jazz Hot - Echoes of France (la Marseillaise)

A song in the swingin' spirit of jazz manouche ...about happy times of adolescence !! :-)) dedicated to my dear DDjohn Junior ;-)

L'âge bête
C'est bon c'est doux c'est chouette
L'âge bête ...
Quand on n'a pas quinze ans

J'ai grandi un peu trop vite 
Je dois rôder un peu la mécanique
Une certaine folie m'habite
Faut m'pardonner Y a comme un hic
Car..
J'ai l'âge bête
C'est bon c'est doux c'est chouette 
La vie est douce et belle 
Et j'ai pas toutes mes dents ...

Je ne fais pourtant rien de mal
A taper partout ma basket balle
Tant pis pour les poteaux,  pots aux fleurs
Si ça casse c'est pas un malheur

L'âge bête (refrain ..)

J'me dis quand quand même
Quand je regarde autour de moi 
C'est quand qu'on en sort de l'age bête
Dis Eddy, dis le moi !!

Refrain + délires (de jeunesse)

Additional collabs on this song welcome  !! (maybe a "brassy"  or "woody" or "other" color ?)

Hungaria - Swing Dedos

This is a very special song in the Beatles universe (www.omgfacts.com/lists/6292/Paul-…ust-16-years-old) and a very special song to me as a clarinetist and Beatles lover ... not many pop/rock artists except the Beatles /Supertramp /Zappa have used the clarinet !! ...
Hope you enjoy our little tribute/ revisit of this classic ...with just a little swingy twist ;-)

Made with a very big help from my musician friends ! :)

What a classic!  Django Reinhardt's wonderful swing tunes such as Minor Swing have become Jazz standards and are simply amazing tunes for the time that they were written.  Why not keep the swing today with a super danceable edit from Global Warning....  Some clever edits and tweaks should keep you tap tap tapping that swing!
