Angelo Debarre, Stochelo Rosenberg and Bireli Lagrene. The top three best living gypsy guitarists(in no particular order of skill or preference). Dream team!
Holy crap, it's gonna take a while until I get to that level of chord substitution ability. The soloing is great (as always with jazz manouche), but the comping is ridiculous.
"TheDuree18" who is saying "Better than Django" ahahaha :D
Come on! I mean even if you take all the actual gispy players, and put them together, they are nowhere near Django... Django is GOD! That's simple isn't it?
I cry each time I hear Django and I don't when I hear them even if I love them for more than 10 years.
I agree that he has picked up on the gypsy technical trail but Django was not the best guitarist of his time. He was possibly the most prolific improvising guitarist but he was not a "jazz" player. He performed in a swing style with a French aroma and the passion of the gypsy musicians. He and his music was inviting and exciting. Django did it all with style.
@unwrought I am sure that I can not know who the great guitarists of his time were because I do not know how far back they go before him. D'jango was the most viewed publically due to the disability to his hand. If I understand your question correctly, I believe he was one of the most gifted qypsy jazz muscians and certainly the most prolific. But technique is not a measure of talent. The biggest muscles are not always the strongest. Bireli and others copy the D'jango style.
@oldpython Of course, you are right. Yet Django is the best example, what a real talent or more precisely the real genius means: not only the "muscles" but at the first place the soul. Django always plays music, being aware of its spirit, always lets the melody flow. He never plays just superfast licks over the harmony. That's the difference between milestones and other stones whatever kind they are.
Sadly I agree with vinno. Tommy is a GOOD guitar player, he plays some VERY beautiful stuff. But he is not even close to being as good as these guys, i mean, he rolls with Joscho and nobody else. If you dont play with Bireli, stochelo, angelo, jimmy or andreas, you cannot call yourself great. Call yourself good, not great. Tommy is good.
Tommy's not as good a GYPSY JAZZ player as these guys , but he plays fingerstyle better than these guys. You have to choose a style to focus on.
Tommy is a great fingerstyle and pop player. These guys are probably "good" fingerstyle players, I've never heard them play fingerstlye, except use alternate harmonics sometimes. You really can't compare.
I agree. I enjoy tommys music, as well as all the gypsy jazz artists. I just wish Tommy and Joscho would stop playing with each other because it is making them suck more and more :[ The music from a few years ago and back are much nicer than today. Maybe their is a connection :D
peutetre que je suis un peu dur c'est vrai. Mais je tiens a nuancer l omnipotence consommée d'un bireli qui ecrase parce qu'il envoie.car la technique ne donne pas toujours de signature et pour moi il ya plein de grands joueur qui apportent autre chose que la technique certes ecrasante d un bireli virtuose. Je pense notamment a samson schmitt,dutronc que je trouve deja très bon avec romane en 1996, ou encore le guitare leader du groupe des doigts de l'homme...
moi je prefere debarre a lagrene car il travaille bien ses themes et ne charge pas tout le temps ses solos de 35000 notes superflues...M enfin bon j'aime bien lagrene aussi! mais ca parle pas comme les notes a jango renard(c'est comme ca qu'il signait les doc)
LucyPanda, the title missed Bireli Lagrene. But you alrealdy know that. Thanks for posting ALL 3 are Master Players, I bet each one can play as well with one string only. Great Job Dangelo in keeping the flow. LOVE the interaction.
interesting. first Angelo plays and his choice of notes is supurb, always perfect in the key, then Bireli plays, and he sounds a little bit "out" and then Stochelo plays and is much better with creative rhythmic ideas. all 3 are gods.
Debarre plays the standard gypsy solo (not an insult by any means). Bireli is Bireli, with incredible technique, mimicking some of Debarre's licks. Stochelo plays totally away of his own style. As someone else posted, he uses the rhythm to pump, and gives the music plenty of "breathing room".
What makes this video so great (besides the obvious godlike talent) is the variety of styles on exhibit here. I love this video.
Absolutely Incredible! One sensible answer this to question please...? Why do the masses listen to so much boringly simple crap out there when we have great guitar players like this? Is anyone thinking the same thing I am?
cos the masses are stoopid. Most people wouldn't want to know about these guys. It is a shame, but I try to appreciate radio bubble-gum pop as much as death metal, gypsy jazz, or whatever music. There is beauty and something good in all music, even if we don't like it at first.
Agree with Alexio... this gives me as much pleasure as opera, flamenco, jazz... but at the end of the day you have to learn to open your ears and actually listen. You don't have to LOVE all kinds of music, but accept and become more open to all.
Sometimes Bireli is out of bounds in his chorus because he privileges the virtuosity. I think that the challenge is not virtuosity but yes the musicality. And this is what Angelo brings to us.
that Lagrene's an absolute MONSTER on rhythm. and as for the sheer volume of these guitars, it seems to me, as a player, that these guys completely POUND on these guitars.
i'm not big on stereotypes or aspersions, but i'd also heard that Django would trash a very high quality guitar in a matter of months with his "heavy" hands. and it seems that these cats don't have any problem beating their axes into submission, either.
Furthermore, he kept and used exclusively his last and most famous one (the Selmer #503) for years... I think the guitar would still sound great today if someone played it :) These guys dont break instrument, they aare not rockers uh uh uh... they sell them, often :)
i wasn't speaking literally of "trashing" guitars. i used to play often in a bluegrass band. i would have to have frets replaced every few months, repairs made to the pick guard and damaged top, and even two fret boards replaced over a period of just a couple of years due to scalloping. and, furthermore, these guys are way beyond nearly everyone in volume and attack. it's right before your eyes, man.
... Well, ok... silly me for reading "trash" and understanding "trash". But hey, changing the frets every few months isnt normal, man... I hoestly think the used guitars you find for sale, like old Selmers, Busato, Favino etc, have not all had this done even once. Often it says so when they are for sale.... and for most of them as there is no pickguard, the place of the pickguard is VERY used, but still solid. And yes, they play hard :)
no kidding? they really haven't had frets done? wow. i've never had the pleasure of even holding one of those guitars. i guess the difference may be in the type of strings, huh? i have a Martin D28, 1965, and the frets have been done probably 15-20 times. i also use very thick strings, not recommended by Martin, to get a big sound. there is no tension bar in my guitar so the neck has had to be reset a couple of times, too.
tell me, what type and size strings are used on these things?
they use silver coated, copper wound strings. guage is usually in the 10's or 11's for higher tension. they use heavy guage plectrums as well to give them that attack.
All three of them mesh really well together; They are as tight as that little black dress you break out for a dinner party. I love both Debarre's and Stochelo's choice of melodic lines and tone, and Bireli's rhythmic and harmonic sense. Truely amazing players.
This video might be the best jazz i've ever witnessed in my life. Either that or the Billie Holiday "Fine and Mellow" video from 1957. It's close! These guys are just....indescribable!
Could be both. Or just a bad mix by the sound engineer of the other 2. Because of the sheer acoustic output of this guitars a lot of engineers have problems recording them. Selmers type guitars are a lot louder than other makes/models. Thus clipping is always lurking around te corner, causing a poor/distorded sound.
debare definatley outdid rosenberg and bireli on this one his playing is flawless to the rythm and hes the cleanest all three were superb however, guitar playing at its finest =)
Phenomenal! I like Stochelo Rosenberg the best, he lets the music "breathe"; his play is most interesting. Bireli at the high frets simply isn't human And hadn't heard of Debarre before this but he is fantastic!
