John Jorgenson unplugged - You Rascal You (Betty Boop)

Here's a snippet of the John Jorgenson Quintet performing the Betty Boop classic "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You" acousticly and without any amplification.

You just gotta love John's Louis Armstrong type voice. This man's so versatile, he also played a clarinet solo in the middle of this song and played the Greek bouzouki on others songs. Jack of all Trades, Champion of all Styles ...

Part of the clarinet solo:

I had the pleasure of watching these fantastic musicians performs at an intimate venue, the Café Esperanza in Wuppertal / Germany, on May 8th, 2010.

The Quintet are:
John Jorgenson - guitar, bouzouki, vocals, clarinet
Jason Anick - violin
Doug Martin - rhythm guitar
Simon Planting - bass
Rick Reed - drums, percussion

Tania and Sandra Differding from Luxemburg joined them on trombones.

For the photographers: Filmed with a Nikon D90 and a 3.5 / 10-20 Sigma handheld. Still trying to figure out how to get it going, but it's fun to play with ...!

What a night!
