Videos of FiddleBop
| We'll
start
with one of our own. Jo's bluesy self-penned song
'Thirteen-and-a-half Days in the Desert', live at Chippy Jazz
2011. Dave explains where the title came from... By the way: all our Chippy Jazz videos were all recorded in the garden of the Red Lion pub in Chipping Norton, by Rebecca Watts. |

| Minor
Swing,
composed by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli
and made famous by their band, the 'Hot Club of
France'. The tune is now a gypsy jazz classic, played
here by FiddleBop at at Chippy Jazz
2011. This is quite a fast version! |
|
| Jo's
self-penned (as you can guess from the title) 'Jo's
Gypsy Jazz Tune 1' at Chippy Jazz
2011. (We really must think of a better name for
this!) The recording cuts off before the end, which is
a pity. |
|
| A
laid back one now. The Irish traditional tune 'Give Me
Your Hand' given a jazz feeling, at Chippy Jazz
2011. |
|
| Time
for
some stomp! John Mayall's 'Crawling Up a Hill' at Chippy Jazz
2011: this is about as rhythm-and-bluesy as we
get. |
|
| More
chill out: 'Night and 'Day at Chippy Jazz
2011. As always, Dave does a fine job of gurning
whilst playing his fiddle. But here he also
inexcusably walks in front of Jo, to grab a pint, when
she starts singing. |

| A
folky pair: St Thomas (originally a Caribbean folk
tune, jazzified by Sonny Rollins) with the Irish reel
Drowsy Maggie. Live at Chippy Jazz
2011. |
