Farewell blues (1928), played by django a few years after

Romain Vuillemin · April 8

Hey guys, all the gigs got cancelled so i've decide to put more work of my 4tet on youtube for people to enjoy. Here is a version of Farewell blues, a 1928 swing tune that django played in the late 30s or early 40s, great tune !! played on a 2004 dupont MD50 that i like a lot.

Delightful.

The sound is great Romain, did you have a line directly out of the mixing deck or something here? Good mix, everything clear and balanced.

Cheers Wim, yes indeed, it's the mixing deck line out ;) people often say they sound bad, but i've used it on other clips in the channel and those sound terrific :

Wow, that's the best straight from the mixer sound I've heard. When Wim asked I was thinking it can't be, they're usually very dry and lifeless. Yours is exactly the opposite. And great playing and great song, can't recall hearing this one before.
