Romani RendezvousThe forum has been a little slow lately, so thought I'd post another one. I wrote this day before yesterday - another quick write - about 5 or 6 hours. When I was in college (University of Maryland), I wrote a paper on the origin and evolution of the Gypsy culture. They were known under 3 different names in the beginning years, but Romani is the one that was most widely used and accepted and is the traditional reference for the "Gypsies" in modern culture. Thus, the title of the song. I've been a huge fan of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli for many years. This was written with them in mind, trying to create that unique Gypsy Jazz sound that was so popular in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. I mixed the rhythm guitars a little more forward in the mix than usual. What do ya think? File:Romani Rendezvous.SGU Key=Dm , Tempo 201, Length (m:s)=2:04 4 bar intro, 32 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 36. Repeat x3 choruses Style is _GASLITE.STY (Gas Light Gypsy Accordion Combo) RealTracks in style: ~~1204:Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzBallad Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 1202:Guitar, Acoustic, Soloist GypsyJazzFastJohn Sw 220 RealTracks in style: 2404:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm GypsyFolk Sw 190 RealTracks in style: ~1198:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm GypsyJazzFastGonzalo Sw 220 RealTracks in song: 1196:Fiddle, Soloist GypsyJazzFast Sw 220 RealDrums in style: GypsyJazzSw: a: GypsyJazzSwb: GypsyJazzSw

Great swing, you certainly captured the Gypsy Style, perfectly.
The balance sounded great to me. The lead break slotted in perfectly, too.

Hey Alan this was so cool. At first I thought roaring twenties and the Charleston. But then the gypsy music came through. Loved this. And your playing was so good. Well done...

Hello, Alan
Very nice Gypsy jazz!
I also have been a huge fan of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli for many years.
Your mix this time is also nice.
I think that rhythm guitar did not disturb other instruments at all.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Alan, This is incredible! .... outstanding, too!  I love jazz like this and it's so easy to tell that you are totally at home in this style. Is this the sort of music you like to play on guitar? It's incredibly impressive. I'm a bit green with envy at the moment because while I love to listen to this style of music, I think composing in it is something that I will never be able to accomplish. I really enjoyed what you brought along with you in this thread. Thank you All the best to you and Di, Noel P.S. Please tell Di that she is always in my thoughts. I really look forward to hearing her sing again on the forum when she's strong enough. You are both very talented musicians.

Al,
Irresistible toe-tapping swing. This is a style I like very much and know nothing about!
You have a good feel for swing styles as evidenced by previous posts and this is right in the pocket.
Very enjoyable: a two minute smile!
Robert

Hey Alan this was so cool. At first I thought roaring twenties and the Charleston. But then the gypsy music came through. Loved this. And your playing was so good. Well done... Hi Scott, Thanks a bunch! And yeah, it could have gone either way, based on the intro. Both genres are from the same era. And, unfortunately, that's not me playing - it's a BIAB track. I do play pretty decent Gypsy Jazz but my hand hasn't yet recovered enough from the chemo to play it well. I have but 70% feeling in my left hand. Glad you liked it, nonetheless! ALan
