Short Song Description:

An affectionate Stefan Grapelli/ Django Rheinhardt pastiche written one summer holiday in France

Long Song Description:

This is an instrumental jazz number written as a fun homage to the two giants of mid-twentieth century jazz in France. It features the wonderfully vibrant violin playing of Alison Gordon, who is a some-time fashion model, and the solid guitar inventivenes

Story Behind the Song:

Last summer I was trying to laze by the pool in south west France, but it was a good year for wasps and it was risky to stay too still for too long. Hence this fun number "Le Frelon"' "The Hornet"!
