Hey guys, i'm glad to invite again my friend Olli Soikkeli from Finland for this Acoustic Standards #266 ! We've decided to play the cool standard called Blue Drag. It was composed by Fletcher Allen in 1935 and recorded by the great Django Reinhardt on the same year in Paris.
Olli is playing a 1937 Epiphone Broadway (Walnut back), and I’m playing a 1947 Epiphone Triumph (Mapple back). Both guitars are strung with bronze strings gauge 12 and the sound is captured by both a Neumann TLM 103 and a Bluebird microphone in the room.
Feel free to support the channel if you want/can : www.paypal.me/acousticstandards
I've decided to take a couple of student for online classes so hit me up if you're interested. Contact and info : acousticstandardsinparis@gmail.com
I haven't recorded albums in the style of those acoustic standards, but i have 2 albums on bandcamp with my Django tribute Quartet : romainvuilleminquartet.bandcamp.com
The third one "Three sides of a Coin" is just out, so don't hesitate to drop me an email if you'd like a physical copy, i can ship worldwide !!
I may be considering recording a physical album with these acoustic standards as some of you have asked for it, but as printing cds is being a bigger quest year after year, please drop me a message if you think it's a good idea or if you'd like to preorder one or give suggestions etc.
I also have a youtube channel for the Django stuff with my 4tet : ru-vid.com/show-UC7z3SS3VcbCNQsk3TMGzoRA?view_as=subscriber
Please share, subscribe and keep swinging !
