Eva sur Seine Web Site with Songs and Grilles

Just stumbled across this excellent Dutch GJ band's (Eva Sur Seine) web site which includes a half a dozen songs with the chords & lyrics. Of course, having the grilles makes it much easier to play along. Eva Sur Seine includes singer Eva Scholten, and the Thomas Baggerman Trio consisting of Thomas Baggerman, Max Baggerman and Machiel Willemsen. Their official web site is: http://www.evasurseine.com/#

Great band, they played Samois main stage this year. And are regulars djammers camping at Samoreau. Eva sings that famous vals Flambee Montalbanaise very well, which sounds extremely difficult melody for a vocalist! The new EP is good too although her english lyrics are too much on the cheezey side sometimes, she has a fantastic voice

Flambée Montalbanaise is incredibly difficult to sing - it takes a great range and enormous vocal agility and control. Here's the first vocal version I ever heard, by the amazing André Minvielle:

You gotta love Google Translate! Here is its rendition of the lyrics, which apparently pay tribute to Gus Viseur, who composed the melody. Viseur gets translated as "viewfinder."

Hear the melody
The bottom of the night
Coffee.
Look, it's the blues
Corner Gus plays
The bagpipes
Comm 'is Bach.
For a song
Maid with outstretched wings,
Oar, albatross language
Pique and paper frame
The course and the cliff, big guy!
I listened montalbanaise
A flight of embers,
Drowned, I brandy-LATIONS
Viewfinder heart, liquor sister
A bell-foot cigarette,
A flight puff yé
Wind of posterity.

Go go-go,
Chant your boat
My song of coffee
Charlie Parker pass,
Gus and the bagpipes
Breath as
Black as the sax.
If the bebop to waltz
Should seal your nights
Blues and Polka stung
Time
You reconciled us
Do you hear me accordion?
Montech it was so small
Paradise summer
Sambapathie, dada redneck
We rowed fuzzy love ball
But breath is unveiled
A blue push, envy,
Cling to the heart, thank you Viewfinder.

And those, the "Griff" time "
Put fingers to strings
Apaches and Django Mississippi
Didi guitar also told me
Paris and rents, Paris pray
The edge tango de Marne
Capsized the valsouze
Timeless and blues

Drop by drop these divine
My ladies valsées,
Girls and women tomtom
Over time
Funambules and modernity
As the plunge calm
A pebble turn,
Wave wave there
Sleight echo
Of grandpas from beyond the top.
Wake up the melody, the song cafes,
Vocalise the French bop,
Scat and one more waltz,
D'oc,
Like a breath unveiled
A blue surge of envy,
Clings to the heart, thank you Viewfinder.

Hear the melody
The bottom of evening coffee.
Look, it's the corner
From blues to Gus
It plays the bagpipes
Comm 'is Bach.
And bebop to waltz
Should steal my nights
Blues and Polka stung
Time
You reconciled us
Do you hear me accordion?
Wake up the melody, the song of coffee
Vocalise the French bop,
Scat and one more waltz
D'oc,
Like a breath misguided
A blue push, envy,
Clings to the heart, thank you Viewfinder.

..and if you dig vocalise then check out the original 'king pleasure' . He would take bird lines and do the same.

The idea of writing new lyrics on those songs is brilliant!

We've been doing that as well, in Jersey City.
