Can I die happy?
Ignoring the song that Ira Gershwin later added to the composition for the"Goldwyn follies" (1937) , I took the freedom to create a new song on Georges Gerswhin's original composition, re-interpretated by Joe Loss and his orchestra in 1954.
Playing this instrumental from a found record collected in Bruxelles's streets has been the occasion to rethink the piece before its use by golden age entertainement. It has been an elegant way to project myself in the historical context of its re-interpretation, 1954, in between Alain Turing suicide and atomic paranoia.
In last september, Gagarin Records gave this track the opportunity of a new embodiement via an Apolkalypso 7 inch.
