There are not many guitarists that Frank Vignola looks astonished at but Tommy is one of them - surely the greatest acoutic guitarist in the world or what?
It's amazing the versatility that the guitar can have.. i just listened to Nuages played by Roland Dyes, and sounds totally different from Tommy, and you know Tommy andRroland versions are awesome!
Beautiful and I love Tommy, but let's see you try that with just two fingers! I am not knocking Tommy, I just hear folks saying this or that guitarist is the best and I say, nice run, now try it with just two fingers instead of four. Watch them scratch their heads! Tommy is probably the best fingerstyle guitarist anywhere today, but we all know that Django was the man they all looked up to.
I really like how Tommy's been learning so much from the gypsy jazz style again recently. I can hear new licks & phrasing. Although I was disappointed he didn't get to perform with Bireli yet (at least that I know of), it was great that he got to fill in for Bireli & play with the brilliant Sylvain Luc.
@lukeev wow, thats a big pity, could have been the new super guitar trio??? lol its good news though as now we all know for certain that bireli knows tommy so i am sure its only a matter of time before they jazz it up django style. Tommy does a few nice concerts with joscho stephan, nearlly go to go live when i was in sydney but was sold out.
Frank is shaping up to be the heir. Tremendous player and comes across like TE - total gentleman (to the degree that that term means anything anymore).
Well then ...wasn't that about a beautiful song played very well. I sure wish Tommy would do a cd that is just swing guitar and do it solo & Nuages played on that Kalamazoo would be on that cd. Cheers Tommy ....Django , Fapy fans would love it and I am sure the world would love to hear that style again.
Yes, a lot of these whiners on YT don't notice that these two like playing so much together (and they have since meeting at Les Paul's club) because they're both naturally humble and positive...
Nothing 'gypsy' about those harmonics...lovely though. One of my
favorite living guitarists. I really enjoy watching him enjoy himself.

close your eyes and it could be any great..Tommy has mostly gone outside himself to really get at the authentic gypsy mood. I like!

Lovely to see the guitar genius Frank Vignola's eyes and tongue hanging out just as much as mine. We don't often see TE with just a flatpick.
Wonderfully played and beautifully filmed, thanks.

played on a fabulous period instrument...
in the hands of a master...
go tommy!

I can see a huge resurgence in interest in Django's music now thanks to these two...
...Tommy for me is the perfect example of how it only takes one person to change the world by changing themselves.

Your wish has come true...
TE has released a cd of tunes recorded with the Frank Vignola trio...
called "Just between frets" - corny pun, but what the heck. Nuages and a host of Django classics are on it. Have fun tracking it down!!!
