Some New Videos of Cool Tunes (by Sarane Ferret) - Enjoy :)
Hi all,
I know some of you from here will know this already, but the last few months has been a really hard time for me, involving a very serious medical issue, as those of you who know me in real life or on Facebook will understand. One way I've been coping is with music, and it really is the best thing. I got together last week with some great friends and regular bandmates from here in Melbourne, the great Peter Baylor and Howard Cairns, and recorded some videos of tunes that don't get a regular airing in these circles, but definitely should - Royal Blue and Swing Star by the great, but we think overlooked (especially as a composer) Sarane Ferret, and the great old standard As Time Goes By. Hope you enjoy them! Jon

My favorites Sarane's tunes! A thought for the violinist Georges Effrosse who played magnificiently on Royal Blue and whose career was stopped by the nazis...
Nice playing from the whole team.
Good luck with whatever you are going through!
Small correction, my favorite one is Sex appeal. Do you play it too?
@PapsPier Yeah, I love that one too. Also Miami is great. Georges Effrosse was incredible, and yes, met a sad end. The intro he plays on the original Royal Blue is amazing. That more people don't know about him is a terrible shame. I dedicated the second tune from my last album to him. You can hear it here https://jondelaney.bandcamp.com/track/for-georges-effrosse
Thanks for sharing these Jon - been really enjoying listening to them in tandem with your Paname album.
Thanks so much!
Love your tribute to Georges Effrosse (you have the attack, the sound of Tchavolo and the lyricism of a Sarane). Really enjoyed listening all your music on fb and here! We have quite a lot of tastes in common musically :)
Here are a few rare photos of Sarrane Ferret. The other musicians he's standing with in one photo are Gusti's sons Noye and Djouan, the violinist is Pierre Ramonet. The latin musicians, I don't have a clue who they are but I love the photo, so evocative of 50s Paris.
Reposted as I did not fully understand the new system. Sarrane was a great guitarist and composer, sadly often overlooked for flashier players. That wasn't what he was about.
