Minor Swing Lagrene Bireli 1990

[bfulbright]

Stochelo rips it!! Bireli is screaming!! They are all good!!

[kenscott2557]

Once gain Bireli just demonstrates that he lacks musicality - random licks that make no sense, he did the same when outshone by John McLaughlin. I think the guy before him was Jimmy Rosenburg, apologies if that is wrong, whoever it was he definately had the right grasp in terms of what Django was all about. For me the real modern day master is Fapy Lapertin, check him out on YouTube.

@kenscott2557 Bireli was in his flamenco days in this video,trying new stuff.As much as i like Fapy,we can all play note for note Django but in improvising Bireli is a mile above the rest.He is constantly educating himself musically and trying new things,.Everytime bireli plays a song it sounds different,so musically,he is definitly better.He has numerous styles,he is more origional and has a better stage presence.I want to marry him, lol You should check out Raphael fays during his gypsy days

[wachita15]

I like the second to last guy - his phrasing/ dynamic control is the best in this video. Bireli's is probably the most harmonically interesting but its a bit choppy. Awesome video!

[12nicky34]

@wachita15 That's Stochelo Rosenberg playing before Bireli. He's my favourite of all the gypsy players.Has The most wonderful feel. Bireli is awesome and technically the most accomplished probably but it's all preferance I suppose. ;)

[bruceberry84]

anybody else captivated by the tastiness of bireli's slower licks? i can't stop watching this video :D

[MrHamreable2104]

im wondering if the clip were a little longer, we wouldve seen nous'che play?

[pho2]

really, a great collection of players.

Great footage and thanks for posting

[matdelta1]

GARY POTTER IS BEST HERE

[HarmPoy]

@matdelta1 no such thing as best my friend.

[matdelta1]

@HarmPoy I don't follow?

[HarmPoy]

@matdelta1 Especially regarding music and creative output, there is often no such thing as best.

[nandakhan]

Honestly, all of these players have something to bring to the table. The thing I find unfortunate is the failure to present some of the other influential players playing in europe such as Angelo Debarre, Raphael Fays, Tchavolo, Dorado Schmidt, Fapy (he is in the video for 10 seconds lol). Its not a matter of better but personal taste in music in general.

[iXeuttube]

Real gybsY Jazz played by real gBsys lol

[Irishgypsy1988]

Stochelo is the man, listen to how much better he sounds then everybody else.

[smuffjules]

@Irishgypsy1988 Stochelo is probably the best traditional gypsy jazz player around, but Bireli is the master of true improvisation and has more licks and harmonic knowlege than anyone else. He never runs out of ideas...and play gypsy jazz and bebop...pop and metal styles that he's explored

[jarseniy]

YEAAA!

[doomeddisciple]

STINGING the camera takes the camera of Stochello when he unleashes that insane lick at 2:07!!! Manouche rules!

[hellmonster666]

i truly wish i could travel and see such show also to have such talent

[tomfarr56]

Another reason to travel abroad! :)

[swingbazar]

some feel what they play .some make a fucking show

stochelo is playing like a real gypsy from sinti familia

bireli give impression to some kids like a circus  show........RIP mr django

[ezeckiel1]

serge IS THE BESTTTTT

[codyr222]

The first player sounds like Charlie Christian - exquisite.

[TLPnega]

Theres actually two rosenberg's there. I can't remember the other ones first name but he's Stochelo's brother and the rhythm player for his trio.

[Schlappa19]

I think in this video you can hear so many different styles of playing gypsy jazz.. Great

[MRROCK92]

STochelo in the house too

[malilacreuse]

laissons la technique a birelli mais la sonorite et le vibratode stochelo est bien agreable musicalement le premier solo de l anglais est pas mal du tout dommage que babick termine avec un instrument amplifie

[deismusique]

festival de virtuosité.... Bireli surpasse déjà tout le monde !

[JimmyDeLocke]

reminds of a bluegrass festival, but without all those banjos.

[BluegrassMusician]

Ha, yeah. There's nothing wrong w/ lots of banjos. Wait..yes there is..because only 1 out of every 12,000,000 of them know how to play 'em! Lots of instrument owners, not many players. This is fun to watch tho. I like watching jams. Especially when I know they aren't just playing canned breaks and licks. Which granted a lot are, but still fun.

[12nicky34]

Saying who is the best is like saying the colour blue is better than the colour green or red. They all have their own beauty and are all appealing in their own way. For me, Stochello's solo is perfect. Sweet,melodic, full of passion and technique. I love Bireli but he was too busy trying to play too much I think on this version of a classic. :)

[bailey6757]

bireli is the best !!!!

[jcdemo]

Yes, Bireli is there.. But Stochelo steals the show! And Babik isn't bad either at the end..

[robibm2003]

Pure guitar porn. Thanks for posting this. This was just out of this world.

[ponti76]

[Jaegerpark]

... have a look at 2:30...., and there he is himself ..., sincerly yours ...
