Flèche d'or, Django Reinhardt 1952

Romain Vuillemin

Hey guys, here is a version of one of Django Reinhardt's latest composition called "Flèche d'or", first recorded in January 1952. We can hear a lot of the influence of the bebop from Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. We have recorded this song that same year on our second album called "Why not?" available on bandcamp https://romainvuilleminquartet.bandcamp.com/

Very bebop, indeed. And your frenetic version sounds just like it's namesake train, flying down the rails to the coast. Thank you for sharing, @Romain Vuillemin. I always appreciate your contributions.

Thanks a lot ! i've been digging into bebop lately, but i'm keeping my right hand technique and sound, which can suit this tune and atmosphere well i think
