Free Music Notes for Avalon
Free Music Review: Djangologists rejoice!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an astounding recording. Unlike typical acoustic swing outfits, that often come from more of a bluegrass perspective, Pearl Django's music is acoustic swing that finds its roots squarely in the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephen Grappelli.Guitar soloist Neil Andersson has obviously paid his dues wearing out the grooves on his Reinhardt recordings - he sounds almost like Django reincarnated but with a difference, this is what Django would have sounded like had he lived through the 1950s and 60s and had taken in the influences of Wes Montgomery and Tal Farlow. Michael Grey's work on violin, while inspired by Grappelli, is likewise informed by bop as it is by swing (there are references to Charlie Parker's music found here). The range of material is extraordinary and, while jazz fans will naturally find much to like here, the unexpected thing about Pearl Django is that their music might find a fan base among those interested in world music, acoustic music of all kinds, and it has the added bonus of being steeped in a sense of history (a quality all too absent among younger jazz players, whose touchstone tend to be post-bop usually. But don't buy Avalon for the history, buy it for it is joyous music that will touch your soul.
