Bireli Lagrene (Gypsy Project) - Minor Swing (Samois 2002)

[RaulDuke703692Me204]

Cette version de Minor swing de Bireli est magnifique !! Sans doute la meillleure, sa phrase vers les 1'40 est surnaturelle !!

No disrespect intended, but although Birele has incredible speed and agility in his guitar playing, he lacks creativity. There is not much in the way of rythmic, melodic, or harmonic diversity in his playing. Just lots and lots of notes played at a consistant high velocity. As for the rest of the group, the rythm guitar sounds like muted strumming all the time. I cant even make out the chord changes. Listen CLOSELY to some old Django and Grappelli from 1938, it puts this CHEAP KNOCKOFF to SHAME.

the rhythms he plays in this solo are very advanced and complex... some of his fast lines are pure triplets that are very difficult to place... he uses lots of harmonic substitutions as well, and occasionally plays outside... so you couldn't be further from the truth!

[BigSweatySaggyTits]

Okay okay, I AM SORRY. I went a little too far with that last comment. It's not a cheap knockoff, but I still thing that Bireli doesn't have half the creativity Django did, or the technical skills. But he is the greatest Jazz Manouche guitarist alive today that I know of. HE IS GREAT! I Joscho Stephan is really great too.

[kapitanswing]

If you think that this is supposed to be a mere "knockoff" or simple recreation of Django and Stephane, then you have missed the point entirely.

bravo a thomas dutronc

[chookrate]

Pourquoi ?

[tchantchoutchou]

il me semble que c'est lui qui accompagne a gauche, comme d'hab avec le gypsy project et bireli, hono la contrebasse et dutronc

[sintygypsy]

I think bireli is the only man alive today who could have sat with Mozart and made him cry

[rocris74]
