Frank Vignola and Jimmy Rosenberg

[meadmclean]

Just for the record, this song is called "Gypsy Mania". Don't know if it's an original or what. Never heard it played by anyone else.

Der Rhythmus erinnert sehr an Tico Tico. An einer Stelle die Modulation erinnert ziemlich genau an den Czardas von Monti. Alles zusammen ist es eine brilliant gemachte Komposition, die sehr viele Elemente enthaelt, die man schon von irgendwoher kennt. Eine Art summierte Vorstellung vom Geist und Tradition der Zigeuner Musik mit allen Facetten, die uns immer wieder begeistern. Grossartig gespielt!

[waldemaretz]

Just great!

@matthewcross : have you ever heard of gipsy swing or what ? there's no mutting in that music

[matthewcross]

When I play lead acoustic guitar, I need to mute the bass strings with the heel of my right hand so they don't ring out while I play the treble things. I am to understand that, in gypsy style, you play with the right hand bent at the wrist ~45 degrees.  Here is my question - how do the gypsies mute?

[Joecharbo1]

@matthewcross They mute by release the left hand with a good timing with the right hand. They make ghost notes by the same way.

[caribooho]

does anyone know what song this is?

[deanster1111]

It's called Gypsymania. They played it at the Django Reinhardt NY Festival at Birdland in 2001. There's a recording. It's good!

Jimmy is simply beyond words to describe. Frank is no doubt a gifted musician, I am familiar with much of his work, he's legendary. Jimmy though is just in a class of his own. There are guitarists out there who can do what Frank does, No guitarist out there can do what Jimmy has done or can do.

[tobbemann]

exept Django ofcourse

[guitaristavista]

Except Django, absolutely! Without Django, there is no Jimmy haha hence i said "no guitarist out there" as in living guitarists ;)

[tobbemann]

I must say i think Bireli Lagrene, Stochelo Rosenberg are in the same class as Jimmy

[guitaristavista]

I would have to be ignorant or crazy not to agree with you :) Bireli, also a child prodigy and an amazing phenomenom. As for Stochelo, what can be said, he's simply incredible. But even he has admitted to Jimmy being in a class of his own, in more ways than one. Either way, they're all in a class of their own. Tobbemann, you know what you're on about.

[1nicawilly]

There is one guy who can do what Jimmy does and more: Joscho Stephan. Give him a listen... he's incredible.

[Sinto4Life]
