  • Who the hell is that Christian Escoude ? Maybe it's just this song, but his solo was terrible to the utmost, Bireli (who always seems to be pissed off anyway, as someone mentioned) was about to explode watching him playing :)

  • That guitar needs a haircut

  • Very bad sound this one is

    Plz think about true sound before you do it

  • bireli jsi bomba kytarysta

  • i dont think an audience can ever clap along with a jazz song

  • @twistedthumbv2 clapping to anything requires a beat...don't u think there is a beat here?

  • 6 people expected heavy metal shredding.

  • Escoudo...walking in on the end of the Fabulous 'Spain' sits down with a loose string flying around his guitar. I suppose this is because he broke the string just prior to going on, and then, as sometimes happens it had knotted itself in the capstan, so the new string was threaded over the old one. But he didn't need to be in quite such a hurry to get on stage?

  • 4 grands immences

    pk ne pas écouté se que fait bireli

    et il as raison pour joué je croit que ces preuve sont faites!!!!!

    et escoudé se debrouille pas mal en téte !!!

    bravo berilé ,rien a prouvé ,régale tes oreilles ta raison et un peu le droit aussi ;-)

  • 4:46 - 5:00 = WIN

  • Is this in Am still?

  • @GrimBat0l E minor

  • Christian Escoude (second solo) is just as good live as he is in this video. I paid 75$ to see him with Gypsy Planet. There was 0% swing.

  • The lead guitarist is an exact replica of the character Angel, the public prosecutor from the series Dexter. Other than that, what a fantastic show.

  • Lately when i go into the market or to someones house and pop out my headphones i hear this terrible, woeful sound. I've been listening to so much real music that it's easy to forget the garbage that society, as a collective, has adopted as their soundtrack for life. One day i'll be walking down the street and clothes shops will be playing Birelli Lagrene's "Standards" or something, something at least that doesn't entail a Dj wanking onto his decks and synth machine. But thats their choice.

  • was it Lagrene (can't spell his name right) who played the conga sounds? how creative!

  • Is there a DVD of this concert and where can I buy it?

  • ez nagyon nagyon nagy

  • brilliant!

  • I swear to god Bireli can play any style or genre there is

  • @Johaneeeek he played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, replacing Gary Moore!!!

  • Mon chorus préféré de Biréli à ce jour !

  • THE BEST SUMMERTIME I HAVE EVER HEARD !!!!!!!!!!!

    FANTASTIC:-)))

  • انقطع الوتر من الطرب

  • Amazing octave, First time see you play that long. thanks Bireli

  • This is as relaxing as the best relaxation music!

  • This is God's way of saying "top that bitches"!

  • Pretty amazing indeed

  • I like these guys, they are truly musicians.

    All of them.

    Just a double-bass, a rhytym-guitar, and of they go.

    Bireli does at a moment, sounds like Wes.

    Amazing.

  • mostros sois me gusta como tocais parece samba y jazz un aplauso a los mostros sois la auntetica fusion sus tendre que cortar las manos es mejor pata negra rock gitano

  • This is something only gypsy's can do!!! Incredible good!

  • cut the technique quarrel, listen like a gypsy, with your Heart!

  • i had this on a playlist in the background while cleaning the place up after lastnights party, about to comment that it must be summertime,, since alot of his songs on youtube aren't named. glad i didnt ha duh

  • All shredders should watch this and learn. Power, speed and technique with passion. There is a song there. Not just scales. Amazing skill.

  • Definitely steel

  • profii muzik naljbolji si za ovo vreme nema sta poz srbija vrznjska banja zenko

  • Nous'che at 5:36 getting a kick out of what Bireli's doin! haha

  • Pure cool !

  • °_^ mmm.. i've been watching this video almost a thousand times now.. and i think my guitar playing is some what improving, because of this video... now i know who's among them gives the hardest technique... and it's bireli lagrene.. the third soloist w/ a gibson.. he'd used here a chord progression.. not just strings but "chords"... i can't do it yet.. LOL :)

  • @paulbocaya

    cord progression? ? he plays mainly in octaves through the first part of his solo.... and he didn´t invent it , " Wes montgomery" did , check him out. . . ( thumb and octaves) ....

  • @findmads

    lol you didnt get what i mean dude.. what i mean by "cord progression" by bireli, it's not the technique of thumb picking or octave style... what i men is that, he converted the whole scale into chords and play it like fast scale progression... and its hard, even the rosenberg trio was amazed and smiled at what bireli's doin... :)

  • @paulbocaya You don't know what scale nor chord is and you're stupid. Shut the fuck up and die like a fucking mangy dog already, maggot.

  • Wes popularized it. He got it from Django who'd been using the technique a number of years prior.

  • I didn't know about this amazing concert!!! The best gypsy jazz musicians together!!! And of course, there is Christian...

  • he's coming for you

  • volshebno :)

  • escoude has no chops at all. great video!

  • nice

  • lol i noticed that bireli likes his plain white t-shirt when he is gigging

  • They are GREAT !!!!!

    Eric - Studio ChinChan

  • Rosenberg is very good and the best

  • Rabbit,

    I think you're wrong about Bireli refusing to comp. It's an artistic choice. With 4 guitars playing theres only so much room. when the second guitar starts his solo he playing mostly chord melody. I think he lays out when taste requires it. Sometimes it's knowing when not to play.

  • @lhurien yes, missed the point. Listen to the phrasing at the start of Bireli's solo conjuring up Wes as a response and the antithesis of, yet sublimely complimnetary, to Stocky's start - notice the smile on Stock'ys face mid way in B's solo.

  • I think it's an artistic choice too!!.. first time i've watching this video i've listen a percussion sound.. but no musician playing it... in fact i think it's bireli who is playing percussion with his muted string.. PS: i love all solos guitar in this song!!!

  • @lhurien living in Paris, I can tell you one thing for sure: among gipsy guitarists, the lead guitarist doesn't play rhythm or hardly ever; top level players usually don't even comp very well... By the way, in the traditional django style, you would have 2 different rhythm players playing in perfect unisson, both for a matter of power and sound: the Selmer type mustn't be strummed too hard or it'll sound like a (bad) banjo.

  • @swingmanu thank you for the insights, i don't play that style but I love to listen to it.

  • @lhurien And, of course, as you stated it, a real musician best knows when to play and when to leave space... in France, all these guitarists show the others great respect

  • I always wonder how Stochelo's (and other gypsy jazz player's) playing can be so clean and crisp without any right hand muting...especially amplified...can anyone shed some insight into that?

  • actually they use a lot of muting... only its too fast... lol

  • PLaying since they are kids... every day... for years...

  • They use a technique called 'Rest-Stroke' well you have a floating hand, wrist bent out naturally, when they pick they pick a little aggresively and rests on the next string (thus the crispness and the term rest-stroke). When changing strings they always use down strokes. Oh yeah.. Did I mention the practise they put in? Sure the technique helped, (a lot, people might say) but these guys put in thousands of hours practising. Technique is explained in detail on michael horowitz's 'Gypsy Picking'

  • rofl, Bireli always looks so pissed off

  • well for him is boring playin' with this guys

  • and he often refuses to comp when others are soloing. pretty funny

  • @flamencodiablo007 but tell me please why?

    i agree his state of mind

  • bireli is playing like wes

  • does any body know what model of guitar bireli has??

  • gibson L5

  • super 400 actually...18 inch body.....and bireli would never play an l-7...not that they're not good guitars.

  • or L7

  • notice the slit diamond headstock...L-5's dont have that.

  • Johnny smith or now as its called "LeGrand"

  • thanks

  • the mastery of the guitar...

  • i love these guys

  • In a word " WOW"!

  • bireli is great what he destroyd this song

  • anyone else notice that stochelo plays the opening line of manha de canreval at 7:34?

  • You are completely right. ;-)

  • yeah it hit me the first time i heard it.. i cultivate a very private relationship wit manha de carneval ;) (we all have songs like that ahha)

  • Very interseting...Stochello and birelli simulare style but escoude is good 2...

  • na piereli war marl wieder absulut kull gehsbilt

    und das vorsbil von storchelo latsches file güse

    fon johann d

  • j'ai rarement vu nousche montrer ce qu'il ressent et etre autant à fond qu'avec le solo de bireli!!!!

  • Majstori svaka chast. Brcko

  • Comment removed

  • Merci, je ne connaissais pas cette rencontre.

  • yes you are correct thanks!

  • Bireli played too mucho Benson and not enough Bireli. Storchelo exelent and Christian as well. The 4th guitar player is Sylvain Luc who can play with anyone

  • The 4th player is not Sylvain Luc but Nous'che Rosenberg (rythm guitar in Rosenberg Trio).

  • Rosenberg's solo is the best. Bireli overplays.

  • all three soulful players and masters! beautiful playing!!

  • Rosenberg..sublime

  • Bireli Lagrene is one of the greatest mucisians in the world

  • bireli solo is realy out of site, five musicians, five ways to put music in to soul and soul in to music......

  • just bad assed! thanks

  • Incredible musicianship. Tugs at the heartstrings!

  • che dire .... non ho parole

  • Fascinant à regarder autant qu'à écouter.

  • Bravi veramente tutti ma Escoudè è quello che ha più personalità .

  • la musica es como el alma y las historias....es inmortal.....Summertime es inmortal, estos msuicos tambien y probablemnte su compositor este entre el publico tomandose una copa y sonriendo ...... Es lo q tiene ser inmortal

  • verdad

  • wow. Great playing!

  • Master musicians! Very inspiring! Thanks for posting this magnificent video!

  • well its funny sometimes seeing ppls comments on such superb performances on who is the best or most talented among such great players ..missing the point that everyone offers his unique style composing this magic :)

  • @tremete as for who the most talented in this clip is..thats a personal choice but Bireli was playing like these guys at age 12. see:Bireli Lagrene - 12 years

  • @tremete you're absolutetley correct ;) only...this time (Bireli did'nt offer his "unique style"..he opened his solo with pure Wes Montgomery licks and style and then finished his solo in pure Benson style using (all) Benson "signature licks" (I could name each recording from where (every)lick he played came from including the Wes licks..this was an (artistic)choice he made being that the other guitarist actually sound more lick Bireli!!!

  • @deylite but All the great masters do this(Benson did and still does it (playing Wes licks and Johnny Smith and Django styles) All great musicians borrow from those they admire yet still have their own unique style themselves..Earl Klugh (played Chet Atkins) I can't think of a rock player who never use(Hendrix) I guess sometimes we just have to let these masters have fun and just play what and who they want to play like but i know what you mean about people always comparing .Good post!

  • magnifique escoude michel des landes

  • Love this composition, and love the trio on the whole, but I think it's odd that Escoude plays with Lagrene and Rosenberg when his style is so different to theirs, and for the most part I thought his solo was just filler in this song. Technically and lyrically I think he's miles behind the other two. Anyone else think so? ALso good to see Lagrene just jamming in the background while the other two have to take turns :D

  • im sure you think your taste is so refined you can only listen to the best....good for you....its called taste....escoude has taste...you dont like him cause no else really uses the scales the way he does....and i highly doubt your on rosenbergs level.......put a video up before you claim to stand with any of those players.

  • BIRELLI!!

  • Stochelo's melodic development and phrasing are incredible...

  • the old man has a lot of experience and a very creative way constructing his lines.

  • you don't need to play fast-scales to make music.

  • I don't know why you're addressing that comment to me. I don't recall anywhere in this discussion where I said that or implied that. What I said was fairly easy to comprehend even for a child. I said the old man has nothing. I can't be any clearer than that.

  • Nothing as in tone, picking, cleanness, notation, timing, ideas, etc.

  • Comments like"The old man has nothing"must be one of the most stupid comments on youtube this year.hes no Birelli but his tone, picking, cleanness, notation, timing, ideas is better than most.

  • You're free to disagree with me all you like but it definitely isn't stupid. It's an opinion from someone who can play at the level of Rosenberg. You believe he has good tone, strong picking, that he picks clean, good notation, good timing, and good ideas. I disagree. I counted more than a dozen times where he fell out of time signature and many instances where his picking was sloppy and anything but clean, his tone was affected by that, he couldn't perform the most basic notation scales.

  • Just one example. 3:55 - 3:18 is crap. If you think that's good then I really don't need to waste my time debating you because it would be obvious that my ear is much more finely tuned than yours and that I'm on a much higher level musically than you are and I would be wasting my time.

  • I meant 3:55 - 4:18

  • put a video WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS.

    Claiming you being better than the rosenberg...hahahahhahh WELL LET'S SEE-POST A VIDEO BIATCH

  • No, I haven't claimed that I'm 'better' than the Rosenberg's. But I do now claim that you can't read.

  • Comment removed

  • Jag RYSER! Wow vad de är skickliga på att förmedla... Sen är de ju fantastiska gitarrister... Jag beundrar dem som musikant, man NJUTER! Baxtalo!

  • oh yeah!

    that's cool it says Super V. that's pretty strange...so the leGrande is effectively a rebadged SuperV?

  • I am not exactly sure. They are more or less the same instrument. From what I understand, I think the Super V is probably a more prestigious instrument then the LeGrande, which according to the Gibson Custom website is what they now call the Johnny Smith. Man this is confusing!

  • When was this?

  • its a la grande notice 6 finger tailpiece

  • i'd never let go of my super 400.....even for an L-5....or es-350T.....but bireli shits on everyone....rosenburg, martino, hendrix, van halen, and mchlachlin or whatever....he is the fastest (next to howe) and he is the most creative.

  • you sir, are correct

  • Nobody "shits on Hendrix,but Birelli is great.Its not the question to be the fastest,but to make great music.

  • is there a Live record from this gig?

  • Fantastic!!!!

  • sorprendente como tocan la guitarra estos batos

  • They are all incredible musicians!

  • ..nice music

  • escoudé , bof !

  • pardon??? c dans les trucs les plus ridiculement parfaits ke jai vu.. jai pas entendu kelke chose daussi bien foutu depuis lgtmps... tapprécies pas chet atkins?

  • Je suis un peu daccord avec vous deux!

    Escoudé joue extrement bien, mais a coter de bireli et rosenberg...il a pas leur touchers, leurs feelings!

    Mais c'est pas pour ca qu'il est mauvais hein!

    Ma preference va a Bireli que j'ai vu en live...wow

  • Virtuoso performance! Stochelo Rosenberg and Bireli Lagrene are the masters in this genre and a great duo! Very nice music on a warm summerday!

  • whats lagrene's guitar model? one dual on the neck... only lol, im kinda new to this.. hehe:)

  • I believe it's a Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery. Comes with a single classic 57 Humbucker at the neck....a thing of beauty.

  • I think it's a Gibson "Johnny Smith" model. I had one very much like that.

  • Clatification on the Gibson JS. the one Bireli is playing.

  • I think you're right. They are pretty similar. I'd take either one!!

  • It's a Gibson LeGrande.

    They're f*****g beautiful. And equally expensive.

    I want one!

  • It's not a legrande - they have soft cutaway and single pickup as does the wes model.

    I would suggest a boring old 175 with a p-90 fitted.

  • I was talking about Bireli not Escoude...

    Escoude is indeed playing a ES175 with what looks like a P90 fitted. Bireli is playing a Gibson LeGrande...I promise!!

  • It looks like a LeGrand, but its not. Its is a Gibson Super V. It has the same tailpiece, and body as the LeGrande, but you might see where they show the truss rod cover, you can see the word "Super". It is basically a 17 inch super 400. They came in two variants, the CES (routed pickups) and this one with the floating pickup. The latter is quite a rare instrument.

  • Fabulous.

  • yet ANOTHER live performance that I desperately wish was on itunes....

  • You can download the video of this site with a special program, there are even some sites that can do this for you. Then you rip the audio (i.e. with Total Converter)and convert it to mp3. Easy!

  • this concert is on "The Rosenberg Trio" cd

  • I never heard of these guys till now. Amazing ;-)

  • Words cannot describe how good that is... Un-Bloody believable!!!

  • I've heard many guitarists and thousands of solos in my years of playing and I must say that Escoudes solo is the most beautiful one I have ever heard.

  • YES! certainly Escoudes did a beautiful and flamboyant solo. Im going to start looking him up.

  • Escoude is the least accomplished Guitar player in that entire concert, he is good but he is nothing at all special, and i thought his solo was repeatitive and annoyingly simple.

  • don´t know, but somehow i don´t really like the sound of stochelo´s guitar in this song

  • i dont 'agree' with you but it sounds a thousand times better when its just mic'd

  • i think stochelo did very well on this one

  • Rosenbergs play on guitars made by LEO EIMERS.

    Christians Escoudes playing and fanatsy is amazing, this is maybe the best version of SUMMERTIME of all times !!!

  • PURE MAGIC.....

  • Stochelo and Noonie play guitars made by the the Luthiers? Stochelo uses Argentine strings.

  • è semplicemente fantastico potrei ascoltarlo 99 volte al giorno senza mai stancarmene...

  • this is probably my favorite performance that can be found here on youtube....it practically leaves me absolutely speechless. hot damn

  • My opinion as a non-musician isnt as valid, but i have to agree with quitarro5, this may be one if not THE BEST live performace by these guys and also my fav live performance by any artist in the jazz world, I know this much for certain. Thank you for posting, and thank God for giving us musicians like the Rosenberg Trio!

  • Sometimes non musicians know best...

  • thats kind of you musicqsi :)

  • Do you know what kind of guitar Mr Stochelo Rosenberg is playing on and what kind of strings his guitar is equipped with?

  • Escoude 1/8 play

    Birelli is flying

    Stochelo is playing!

  • Rosenberg Trio RULLLEZZ!!)) JAZZ IS JAZZ!!!

  • Christian Escoude's solo was off the hook!!!

  • when rosenberg plays like that...i just love it. He needs to play more "not gypsy jazzish" ,do some rock and classical or something :D we love all them, all the gypsies here in cleveland say woot!

  • he is a gipsyand he never give up his stile like a real gipsy do !!!

  • real deal!

  • ça donne envie de reprendre sa guitare serieusement...ou de se remettre au triangle ;)
