I am looking to submit my band's application to a local festival that celebrates all things French. We play traditioal jazz and am hoping we can do a set of French pieces. Sidney Bechet is an obvious souce but everythhig of his I have heard is instrumental. I am wanting to have many vocal charts in French.
I have found some New Orlenas stuff with French titles but no Frecnh lyrics.Eh La Bas is a no-brainer but unfortunately my knowledge of tunes with French Lyrics ends there. The only lyrics I have for Creole Belles are in English.
Does anyone have some ideas of some New Orleans trad jazz tunes that have French lyrics?
