I think now it's working...

I was sure I had recorded Jodan's gem and ended to find it on a former laptop.
All in this tune is IMO bang in the right place: sound, rhythm, melody, inventivity, like a pro (maybe you are, J.)

The recording is unfortunately not good, so if someone has the tools to improve it, or, Jodan, if you got the courage to perform a remake...

I call solemnly TheoBurke as a witness since I previously promised he could listen to it.

Jodan: hats off.
But...why did you delete it?

Good work, Laurent!
Jordan has a wonderful sense of blues swing and here he applies to a Little Walter style instrumental. His tone is simply wonderful, subdued yet strong, has a sharpness I find irresistable. His attack, although shy at times, is confident and serves his ideas well. The phrases are sublime and fellow one another in steady, sure handed flow. I like the use of the trills,the rapid movement of the harmonica back and forth; an old trick, but not always effectively played. Jordan has it down cold and makes this swing instrumental an ideal driving tune. Nice work indeed.

Theo,you express your analysis from far better than I could do, but collecting my mind, I'd say: it seems Jodan wrote the backing track himself, so much he lives it!
