In A Sentimental Mood, REVISITED with saxo Julien

[Jean Pierre]

"In a Sentimental Mood" is a jazz composition by Duke Ellington. He composed the piece in 1935
just two guitars (my telecaster) take and Piano/bass/ brushes by BIAB
beautiful singing version in 1957 by Ella Fitzgerald

I like the structure of the song especially the first 4 bars of the first part
Dm  Dm(M7)  Dm7  Dm6    Gm  Gm(M7)  Gm7  Gm6

here is the revisited version with sax

[alfstone]

Great version, and wonderful sound of the Telly

thank you Alfredo, as you are a jazz lover, I thought of you a little while making it

Hi Jean,
As always, it is a pure pleasure listening to your guitar playing.
This is an excellent choice of music.
The tele sounds fantastic under your fingers.
Bravo!

A stylish performance of a classic song. A great use of biab also.

lovely swing and playing JP

My dear mother loved the Sarah Vaughan version of this tune.

Those brushes are heavenly. Great chords to work from, but only if you knopw what you're doing. You have several lead choices in here that made me envious, this manifested as a big "%uck, yea."

Really enjoyed the whole vibe here. Just stellar.

thank you guys... I am a student of jazz guitar and I have a lot of work to do to get out of the blues pentatonic scale

[Jean Pierre]

continuation and end (provosory) of the recording session with Julien, my new saxophonist neighbour

in the same way, he recorded in 1 take in rerecording a sax part on my cover of "In a Sentimental Mood".

I just changed the sound of my guitar in the mix with less phaser and slightly accelerated the final mix to 1.1 speed

the second revisited version is in the first post

Beautifully tasteful stuff JP.  Classy and slinky at the same time.  Great guitar tone.
