I needed to clean out my drop box account to accommodate some big client video files for work. The Nuages arrangement had a couple minor errors that I later corrected. Nuages is included in my B11th book available here: www.volkmediabooks.com

Hi Andy,
Have you considered recording these? I'm sure you're at least as self conscious as myself when it comes to playing but the midi files are really difficult to listen to.
I'm sure you would do the songs better justice than you think if you plated them yourself!

| Looking forward to getting your B11 book, Andy. Did you ever rework your arrangement of Django's Castle? I have your old arrangement of verse 1 in A6, but I'm still struggling to get the voicings I want to hear. |

Hi Miles, your book will ship this weekend. I re-arranged Manoir Des Mes Reves (Django's Castle) in D6th tuning (low to hi) D A D F# B D for a new book of acoustic arrangements I'm doing. Here's the MIDI to give you an idea of how it sounds:

I got Andy's new B11 book today. Fun stuff!
He has the arrangement for Nuages in F, which is the key of Django's first recording in 1940. The 1940 recording features clarinets instead of a violin. In later recordings, Django plays it in G, and most gypsy jazz players will play it in G. Speculation is that when Django gave the chart to Stephane Grapelli (who is not on the original recording - he was in England during WWII), he gave him the clarinet part, which is written a whole step up. Stephane played it in G, and away they went.
There are about 13 known recordings of Django playing Nuages, in both F and G. I don't think the key made much difference to him.
It's not a big deal to transpose the song from F to G. I love this book. I might even have "Blue Wind" down for my gig Saturday |

| The Blue Star recordings are beautiful. "Anouman" might be a nice ballad for steel. |

Does anyone have a copy of Andy's B11 book that they would be willing to sell?
