Description : This one's a bit unusual even for me. I've always loved that really old jazz, but could never get over the terrible sound quality, so I never really explored it much. This track is (somewhat) reminicent or those early tracks. It reminds me of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, hence the title (nothing to do with the Django movie.) It starts and ends with the poor quality simulation even with the record scratching (but not through out the track.) I tried to use a combination of vintage and modern sounds and instruments. I don't expect many to like this, but no need to slam me for it. Some may appreciate it.

Scott I hear you! Youve taken on a tricky arrangement! The ragtime vibe shines. The mix has a clarity that allows the listener to enjoy the instruments voices. Really good stuff!

Hey Scott! I am a vintage Sinatra style Jazz singer and I really love your sound and would love to Collaborate with you. Also, I was wondering if I could use a sample from your track. I promise I will give you 100% credit

I too have a problem with terrible old sound quality though one of my favourite groups is a 30s/40s gospel group called The Golden Gate Quartet.

Anyway, this is very cool though the quality of the brass starting on 1:14 is a problem.

Drums are great, so's the sax and guitar and violin. Sounds like lots of fun to make.

This could be even better with some improvements in the sounds.

Please check out a live harmonica looper called Son Of Dave as he makes cool modern versions of old music - a bit like what you've done here, except all he uses is his voice and harmonica. He has a few good albums.

Bonjours Scott ....

This concept reminds me of my father's exploits on the violin .... in my young and tender years.
Frankly I found this track very late (Thanks Danke) but I'm not disappointed by what you have achieved.
Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli have rocked my youth .... especially that my father comes, as Django, of a great people of musicians .... that we could appoint "Gypsy" .... (Tzigane in French)
Thank you for sharing this moment of another age .... The effects of sizzling, as an old 78s is successful ....
I am very troubled by what I hear.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Dan. This one has always been a favorite of mine. I started appreciating the real early stuff later in life. When you're young, you may find it a bit corny, but a musically intelligent mind can always hear the genius in early music even going way back to the classical masters. I put the record scratches in for effect, but I wish we could hear the old stuff in the high fidelity of today's technology.

Cheers,
Scott

This confession may date me, but I heard Stephane Grappelli play live at a concert hall in Madison WI decades ago. The hall was not large but it was full. Wonderful effects here, and the Big Band and vocal moments are inventive and wild. I could comment on so many tracks on your page. . . but I chose this one.

No Worries, UChris. I have a few miles on me, too. Glad you appreciate my style. I love the older stuff, but like to give it a modern feel and add lots of drums! I appreciate your comment.

Cheers,
Scott

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!

Description : A high energy Afro fusion instrumental built around a driving rhythm, melodic elements, and a smooth, infectious bounce. The production blends energetic percussion with a melodic atmosphere, creating a versatile foundation for artists to bring their own sound and personality.

Perfect for artists looking for an energetic record with room for catchy melodies, confident flows, and expressive songwriting. Whether it's a feel good anthem, a hustle driven record, or a late night Afro fusion vibe.
