Free Music Notes for Gipsy Project & Friends
Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not really sure why this album has gotten only decent reviews. This is an outstanding album. One of Bireli's best. His solo on "Songe d'Automne" is out of this world. To me, this album proves my thought that Bireli swings more than any other guitarist around today as well as the fact that he is so much more versatile and interesting than most of his contemporaries. Florin is a delight on this cd. His violin playing is a wonder in itself, clearly on par with Bireli's guitar playing. I prefer this cd to the first Gypsy Project album. I actually prefer the dvd "Live Jazz a Vienne" to this album though. The dvd is much more spontaneous. I would reccommend all 3 Gypsy Project albums as well as his 2 dvds. If you have never heard Bireli before, all i can say is fasten your seatbelt. You are in for a treat! This album also contains a version of Dark Eyes featuring Stochelo Rosenberg on guitar. If you're a Stochelo fan, that would be a plus. Listen to the music!
Gipsy Project & Friends Poster
Thomas Dutronc - Guitar Diego Imbert - Double Bass Bireli Lagrene - Guitar Holzmano Lagrene - Guitar Florin Niculescu - Violin Stchelo Rosenberg - Guitar Hono Winterstein - Guitar Henri Salvador - Vocals (on Envie De Toi)Of all the gypsy guitarists to follow the path blazed by Django Reinhardt, Bireli Lagrene has perhaps inherited more of Reinhardt's restless musical spirit than any other. Since making his recorded debut in 1980 at the age of 13, Lagrene has experimented with a wide variety of styles, including fusion and hard bop. Gypsy Project and Friends is the second CD from Lagrene and the band he formed to play Hot Club-style swing. The selections include a well-chosen mix of popular Reinhardt-Grappelli compositions such as "Djangology" and "Minor Swing," along with less familiar tunes like "Ma Premiere Guitare," which was written by the French guitarist Sacha Distel. Lagrene's band features the amazing Romanian fiddler Florin Niculescu, who plays swing with a fiery passion. The friends include guitarists Thomas Dutronc, "Hono" Winterstein, and Stochelo Rosenberg, who is one of the most technically accomplished guitarists playing in the gypsy jazz style. Lagrene and his companions play these songs in a way that perfectly balances respect for the tradition with the desire to innovate and move the style into the future. --Michael Simmons
