“After You’ve Gone” was composed in 1918 and became a jazz standard by the late 1920s.
Roy Eldridge used it as a feature in the 1940s, it became a favorite of Dixieland bands, and the song’s chord changes have often been utilized for “originals” written by modern jazz artists.
106 years after its debut, “After You’ve Gone” received a rousing treatment by singer Cyrille Aimée and a top-notch European rhythm section comprised of pianist Mathis Picard, bassist Dario Deidda, and drummer Pedro Segundo.
The singer performs the verse and a melody chorus at a slow tempo before engaging in some wild and passionate scat-singing that gets hotter as it goes with the doubling of the tempo
Picard takes an impressive solo and the quartet drives the vintage standard to an exciting conclusion.
