about

“Les Deux Jumeaux” is a Creole beguine from the repertoire of Martiniquan clarinetist Eugène Delouche (1909-1975) and written by his collaborator, guitarist Pollo Malahel. This tropical dance melody has been in the book since our first gig over 20 years ago and features our “Summertime cats” (filling in for those Panoramians who had evacuated to cooler territories).

After Ben and Tomas Majcherski present the tune on clarinet and alto sax, Charlie and the rhythm section tighten up the pocket and get to work, trombone out front. Also dig, if you will, Paul Thibodeaux’s patented swing on the 8th note in that Caribbean stick pattern of his.

The next solo is brought to you by accordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman in his first Panorama recording. Then, after Tomas and Ben split another chorus, the horns get out of the way so Patrick can give us the line again on his banjo before Matt treats us to two B sections on the tuba. Finally the whole band jumps into the pool for one last big splash.
