About This Song
About "La java bleue" by Vincent Malone
The 'blue java' becomes a woozy, tipsy waltz. Malone’s trumpet sways with a drunken elegance, the accordion-like backing evoking a Parisian dancehall on its last legs. It’s romantic and slightly seasick, joy and regret waltzing cheek to cheek in a haze of brass and nostalgia.
