Paris jazz sessions, Edouard Pennes

I mentioned this YouTube channel a few days ago but they just put out another video and this is just so unbelievably good that I want to try to spread the word. At least a 30 people orchestra, "It's so quiet":
Just listen to the performance, the quality of the live mix; outdoors on the streets of Paris! It seriously astonishes me.

Yeah, I hope they have a nearby practice space to stash the piano! Kudos to the sound guy running all that into a laptop.
I have no idea how are they pulling this off, logistically. And it sounds so good!
Yeah I've been watching those Paris sessions for a while now. Quite exceptional in both musicianship and production quality.
Outstanding! Zing boom! I'd always assumed this was a Björk song, had no idea it was actually from the 40's..

Why are we not doing this in every city in this country too . . .
I'm sure Mssr Pennes would be happy to consult on how he's getting it done!
They are brilliant, been watching the channel for a good while - just amazing stuff.

Well, for one, France actually supports performing arts and recognizes that it enriches the lives of all people there. So musicians and artists aren't forced to hustle with side-gigs and whatnot just to make ends meet, they can focus on their thing. Google Intermittent du spectacle about that.
I think if a similar scheme were attempted in USA it would be slighted as market interference, artist welfare or, gasp, socialism!
Yeah, me too, for years I thought it was Bjork's original song and it was relatively recent that I found out. And the song is originally German. But I also just now learned that it's one of her biggest hits, if not the biggest one.
Wim - yep, however (at least here in NYC were we couldn't get that level of quiet any-damn place) . . there might be grants available to make it happen - (Welfare . . . ).
I'm pretty sure it's the case in most of the rest of Europe. Government sponsored programs supporting film, theater, music...arts in general. And, yeah, something like that would never fly in the United States, unfortunately.
One of my guitar buddies back at my first DiJ back in 2007 was a Berliner whose name I have alas, forgotten.
He was a good guitar player but his day job was running a ten piece band that played in the streets of Berlin!
