stacked two long delays and inserted swells etc. at the end I used an ebow that was running out of battery and made an interesting effect (reproducible somehow? )

Delay - Delay - 3 (w/ dying - ebow)

A gentle, reflective track for piano and jazz kit. Evocative of summer, hazy days with a warm breeze

ETAT CUPIDITE

Je t'ai séduit par un froid jour de novembre. 
Un de ces jours où tu fatiguais les rues de ta morne solitude 
Le col d'un pardessus d'ennuis remonté sur ton visage 
Et ce coeur mais pas trop, qui t'animait d'un geste fatigué. 
Je t'ai pris par surprise au détour d'un étonnement 
Toi, tu n'as vu que mes grands yeux de rêves d'où neigaient mille promesses. Elles riaient et tourbillonnaient dans le ciel, retombaient sur ton coeur, 
Ce coeur d'hier, amant d'un lendemain..

Clôs dans la solitude d'un étroit petit monde 
Aux ailes repliées, les poches remplies d'or
Obstiné de l'argent compte et recompte encore jusqu'à la fin du monde. 
Je t'invite ce soir à venir dans ma tombe..

Te souviens tu du jour où je t'ai pris la main comme un enfant ? 
Je t'offris des parfums et des charmes que jamais tu n'aurais inventé Ensemble toi et moi traversâmes l'histoire, peuplades et continents 
Affigeant un conflit, ici ou là, demain, hier ou aujourd'hui 
Ah !  que de guerres avons nous provoqué.. 
Un soir, je t'amenais sur les bords du grand devenir. 
Tu fus littéralement pris de panique, sa lumière t'aveuglait, 
oui je me souviens.. 
Rassure toi je ne suis pas le Diable ou une connerie du genre

Clôs dans la solitude d'un étroit petit monde, 
Les ailes repliées, les poches remplies d'or 
Obstiné de l'argent compte et recompte encore jusqu'à la fin du monde. 
Je t'invite ce soir à baiser dans ma tombe..

Mon terrain de jeu ? 
Mer, Terre, ciel.
Partout où rôde ton odeur et ta cupidité 
Etat cupidité

I present for you a very loose adaptation of the wonderful "Gone With The Wind" . Written in 1937 by Allie Rubel and possibly related to the Margret Mitchell novel. It has been covered many times by many great artists, including the great Bill Evans. The most successful version was by the wonderful Jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery on 1960. 

Written by Allie Wrubel, the lyrics by Herb Magidson

                                Gone With The Wind

Gone With the Wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has blown away
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the Wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has gone,
Gone with the Wind.
Gone, gone, gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away
Yesterday's kisses are still, still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the Wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has
Gone with the Wind.
Gone with the Wind

I present for you "Autumn in New York" . Probably one of the most covered jazz standards ever and still such a beautiful piece.
It was composed by Vernon Duke in 1934 for the Broadway musical “Thumbs Up!”, which opened on December 27, 1934, performed by J. Harold Murray. 
Just me and the Piano ... :)

Young & Foolish

This is a new rendition of the song I wrote and recorded about twenty years ago. The original is a solo vocal/piano recording in one take without overdubs or editing. I posted it on my You Tube channel  but I thought its 8 minute length was too long to burden Sound Cloud listeners with. For this shorter new rendition I sampled piano and vocal parts from the original  to add additional piano and vocal layers to the song.
The lyrics : relate to the observations by a fictional bartender who notices
many barflies (regular customers) treat bartenders like  full-time "substitute psychologists". 
Lyrics:
I'm your bartender. 
Welcome all you barflies. Let's give cheers to this Friday night.
You made it through another work week, baby
and I hope you are feeling alright.

Wash away your blues... and become numb...and don't think of reality
Become a barfly baby...and watch out for what you see

C'mon, won't you have a good time?
I know that you'll feel alright
Because when it's all over, I'm gonna poor you a shot and a drink...
and it will make you think I'm a part-time bartender
But, I'm really a full-time shrink
[instrumental bridge]

I know about your life I know just about everything
Because every night you make your emotions sing to me
...and if you knew...and I need to prove this to you
Let me introduce you, baby to barflies who come through

In the back, stands Al Maloney
He says he "cant afford the alimony" (he bought a new Rolls Royce)

Next to you, stands Susan
She comes here for romance
But she's always boozn' while cruisin'
and never gets her chance

C'mon...won't you have a good time?
I know that you'll feel alright
Because I'm gonna poor you a shot and a drink
and it'll make you think I'm a part-time bartender
But, I'm really a full-time shrink

I'm your bartender
The lovers are Dave and Hue..."Bartender"..."Bartender"
But all they ever seem to do is argue

Oh, here comes a newcomer...really out to dress!
Why don't you turn to him...and try to confess
You are now a barfly, baby...
and you don't really know what to feel

C'mon, won't you have a good time?
I know that you'll feel alright
Because when it's all over I'm gonna poor me a shot and a drink...
and it makes me think...a shot and a drink...and it makes me think...
a shot and a drink...and it makes you think

I'm a part-time bartender
But I feel like... I'm a part-time bartender
but they see me like I'm a part-time bartender
But they treat me like  their full-time shrink.
