[roxinouchet]

Give the names of all the musician in the description of the video please ! Not just the front guys ! There is a pianist (Baptiste Trotignon) and a bassist (don't know who he is) too ...

[roxinouchet]

Give the names of all the musician in the description of the video please ! Not just the 2 fronts guys ! There is a pianist and a bassist too ...

[ericfontainejazz]

Wow...so El-Malek can bebop...

[Hollcall]

My G-d but the man can play.

Hahahahahahahahah....have to agree very much with "Willbarbero". I have a tough time following Buck Owens. Hahahahahahahahahahaah, but I still love to listen to a Guitarist like Bireli.

[dimauro67]

pourquoi dire que bireli a la pression , je ne voi pas ou au contraire il faut bien ecouté et avoir l oreille ,

[jellodius]

5 string upright bass, fuck yeah! I'd kill to have myself one of those.

[schmuck924]

OMG, Andre Ceccarelli's feel switches are ridonkulous! Like candy =D

[jagermeister5]

is this johann sebastian bach on the drums?

[monjoUtube]

Watch Birelli gauging his volume, tweeks his control, and then keeps looking toward the sound engineer until he gets the control he wants. Nice to see Birelli in earlier days when he was a bit more of a normal size. When I first saw him in '85 he was a slim spotty teen-ager... and even at that age a wonder to behold!

[ricaard]

@monjoUtube He's still kicking ass, though!

[malandradentro]

good drum

[6468792]

who said "Jazz is dead?" not with guys like this around......great playing

[TimothyScandella]

absolutely,jazz is not dead,and never gonna die...

[SteefStevens]

@TimothyScandella Jazz ain;t dead.. just smells funny

[joshlive29]

eugene tu ne conait rien ! bireli est le meilleur guitariste du monde !!! sur une echele de 1 a 10 voici lordre - wess montgomery 4 george benson 5 django reihnardt 7 bireli lagrene 10 . chui content de pouvoir taprendre kekchose bye .

[filipo71470]

ce n'est pas de la démonstration, le jour ou Bireli en fera vous vous en rendrez compte tout de suite car niveau technique il peut faire beaucoup plus ...

[filipo71470]

moi j'aime , après ceux qui n'aiment pas ils ne sont pas obligés de regarder et d'écouter

[PhilipPoland1987]

This is sick!!!

[Naliass]

ah y'a besoin d'une demarche pour jouer de la musique?Ils s'eclatent c'est tout c'est pas forcement pretencieux, de toute facon bireli n'a absolument rien a prouver donc je pense pas qu'il soit dans cet etat d'esprit

[pandore30]

Bireli est TOP!! Ce morceau du jazz pur impro c'est un régal! Contemporain ou manouche c'est du jazz avant tout. Et je vois pas à quelle moment Bireli à eu la pression...il a eu un jeu parfait

[freechet]

Personnellement j'aime pas !! C'est un morceau écrit juste pour la virtuosité et pour se la jouer !! Une avalanche de notes, pas de mélodie, enfin bref j'aime pas !! Mais peut-être que j'ai pas compris la démarche musicale, à vous de m'expliquer !!

FreeChet.

[boubizm]

La demarche? Ben c'est une paraphrase de Cherokee, un exercice quoi! à part ça ils vont vite et ils le font bien mais bon...

[TheDuree18]

whos that piano player just great duree

[eugenecraddock]

ceccareli il a quand même commencé avec les chats sauvages. Il était moins chiant à l'époque.

[eugenecraddock]

ça c'est très casse couilles. Birelli return to manouche style.

[thongsongs17]

Faut écouter le world big band avec bireli lagrene alors

[eugenecraddock]

j'aimes pas désolé mais pour moi lagrène il est top en manouche je l'ai vu en trio cette année à Compiègne mais pour le reste j'accroche pas du tout.

[cooleyballs]

tight as a ducks ass.and thats water tight.

[coneheadbill]

1:09 Aaaahh!!! My pride =(

[=

[blueleaftuber]

what the fuck kind of amazing was that? it sounded like a video game

[coneheadbill]

lol yup. I can tell its a sweep of course but he hammers more notes on the top two strings i think, It almost sounds like he sweeps twice or something. Like when Mario goes down a tunnel :)

[trauma15]

yea but he is bireli so its not really like any sort of fancy lick or pre planned thing, he prlly just was trying to play a lot of conveniently located notes really fast lol

[mibifinalist]

bireli loves that mcoy lick over the cherokee changes!!!

[ynot82zu]

Does anyone know David's setup. He was smoking!

[guitarike]

amazing performance - but Pression sounds exactly like Cherokee

[asshead27]

its just the same changes. the head is obviously completely different. but what im getting at is that its nothing new to take standard changes and write new heads for them. look at how high the moon and ornithology. same changes, different tune. same goes with rhythmn changes, blues changes. just because its the same chord progression does not in any way make it the exact same some. id say this sounded quite different from cherokee.

however i agree with you that it was a smokin performance

[Paulasse8]

right... thats cherokee

[William102582]

i dig the drummer!

[orlandoCF1]

For BobiusBrown your comment shows your ignorance to music and jazz in general. Anyone that has heard Benson play straight ahead bop can tell that Mr. Bireli has studied his playing in his earlier days and just took that to another level with a blend of his own style. Observe before you make a comment.

[dasilvaj2008]

does anyone know if tere are any videos of him playing with frank gambale? that would be awesome!!!

[v2vroth]

This cat is not human, he can play any style!!!!

[darksdie65]

yeah is good!! thx for aporrt

[orlandoCF1]

Bireli, incredible player. Very Benson inspired as you can hear. Both have that fire!

[BobiusBrown]

Benson inspired?? You got your head up your arse??

[dmmc1043]

no, bireli constantly says benson is one of his biggest inspirations... it shows in his playing too, of course he has other influences too

[guitaralbert0]

definitely benson inspired! benson, gambale, and django all in one!

[timjarrett]

like clockwork

absolutely brilliant

[foxybrown2]

THE SAX PLAYER IS SMOKING

[tophthegoph]

This is music right here, makes the stuff you hear on the radio sound like a two year old wrote and performed it!

[lesyouri]

He plays the guitar just like he breathing,

[lesyouri]

Well, I think that everyone is great

[ArcReforged]

I'm more amazed by the bassist than i am by the great bireli in this one; don't get me wrong, he is awesome, but damn, that bassist is walking the hell of out that bass.

[quincophonie]

Remi Vignolo... he's a fantastic drummer... There is no justice on earth.

[quincophonie]

i mean Remi is the bassist here.

[photopicker]

you tube is a frickin' gold mine ...

[BassThrasher]

Is that a 5 string double bass? O_O

I've never seen one of those.

[ColinPRS]

Willbarbero, although your comment is antagonistic, you did make me laugh, and of course so true in many cases.

[asxefv]

i think he s the fastest player in this kind of jazz

[gtrplyr013]

there is a lot of benson here in this solo. George can play like this as well. It also sounds like the tune is based on a song called Cherokee.. the changes sound the same..

[asxefv]

hhh concerning benson i have a guitar he plyed with in the time it s an ibanez st 50

[fr3das]

There is only Lagrene in this solo

[gtrplyr013]

no sorry a lot of those lines are benson lines. there are very specific licks that are benson licks. That solo is so benson inspired it is not funny. Listen to videos on you tube of benson playing and then give this one a real good listen again.

[ricaard]

Bireli states in interviews that he listened to quite a bit of Benson during his formative years.

[gtrplyr013]

of course. Benson is one of the guitar players that you have to absorb from if you want to play. the others (for me) would be Pat Martino and Wes Montgomery for that straight ahead thing. For most other stuff I like McLaughlin because of his composition and his forward thinking on styles and not getting caught into just being this kind of player or that kind of player.

[ricaard]

I play guitar, but I generally get my jazz lines from Oscar Peterson or the Marsalis guys or Bird or someone like that... I've only recently started listening to the guitar greats for direct assimilation into the language.

[gtrplyr013]

I stopped listening to guitar players years ago as they all started to sound the same. I listen to Ravel, Stravinsky, Rachmoninoff, Barber, Rimsky Korsakov.. when I listen to "jazz" it is more contemporary these days, people like George Duke and others who put a funk spin on the music. to me the ding a ding jazz is dying.

[Milokrb]

Hey does anyone know what is it he does at 2:20? I've seen him do that in many videos...he does it in the Sylvain Luc duet....sounds like a 7#5 just going up chromatically..?

[renixe]

he does this lick in like every solo. i think its just stacked 4ths going up whole step, then down a half step?

[Maugister]

I am probably not entirely accurate with my interpretation, but I think it's four strike cycle that moves around with him playing (in this case) first A, then simultaneously E, A and C# (A major that is), then F# and A. Then he moves that structure to different position, usually minor third down, then one half step up, then minor third down varying the jumps a bit. It's also rhythmically transformed so that the notes don't follow the straight tune beat, but is actually polyrhythmic.

[gottyboy]

alien!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rs8080]

This sounds to me like it's very similar chord wise to Charlie Parker's "Koko", especially in the solos

[pixaninny]

That's right. Like 'Koko', It's a Bb tune built on the changes for 'Cherokee'.

[Lagusaya2]

Most wonderful music...fantastic!

[PAYOON07]

I admire his skill.

Anyway,I can't help but feel that it's too fast and almost not have some space for breathing. --..-'

[gtr1359]

Are you kidding-this guy doesn't need to breathe! He just oozes baby!

[willbarbero]

It's amusing how fellow guitarists can discuss Bireli and other greats when most can't probably play the riff to Smoke on the water properly !!!

Before you can judge guys like Lagrene, go and learn to do what he does and then you can come back and talk about it. It might take you the best part of 20 years and still not get even close. That's in my experience :)

[RomaniMusic]

Dear fox,

Bireli Lagrene is Rom (Gypsy) from France. You can search him on Google and it will tell you all.

Best wishes to all.

[Carbondioxide1234]

i thought Bireli Lagrene was French

[Kikoune974]

yes, you are right he is French.

[qweasd1993]

anyway!!! then where Bireli Lagrene came from?? i think he came from the country where speak spanish!! or not!! tell me!! hehe

[pssaiko]

i bet the bassguy is french... he's just looking so ultimatively french

[qweasd1993]

really random comment!!! hehehe

not an offence!!! zzzz

[DraculusBM]

How many guitarists does it take to screw in a light bulb? Only one, but the rest claim they can do it better.

[guitarded123]

i love seeing retards attempting to compare one guitarist to the other. PRSGUITARS4ME!!!

[futboler454]

That bass has too many strings!

[lukeev]

"Too many notes!" said the Austrian King to Mozart. :-)

[gustolavida]

vraiment magnifique!!!

digne d'un sineto!!

bises

la gadji

[blah148]

bireli's very versatile, having the ability to go from gypsy, to bebop to funk.

[Authorized77]

Bereli reminds me of Mario Lanza for some reason. Great playing!

[William102582]

the drummer is my favorite!!!

[finkiz]

insolente virtuosité, et décontraction déconcertante
