Bireli Lagrene & Gipsy Project - Minor Swing (Paris 2004)

[pipon55]

Lagrene is so good! His technique is incredible and so is his phrasing.

[bradeism]

This is just one of the many videos that reminds me why I love music so much.

[TheModCon]

I would favourite this again if I could :) Brilliant beyond words!

[Noitard]

Who is the rhythm guitarist?

[L1ber8ted]

@Noitard The great Hono Winterstein!

[Noitard]

@L1ber8ted Thanks :) Love his playing

Lagrene's tremolo chords during the sax solo are just perfect, wow

[MrFavino07]

bireliiiiiiiiiiiiii bravooooooooooooooo dukeeeee..hall sehr.. ferlago....

[mouserorignal]

smooth



[Darkfatez117]

"One. two, you all know what to do" XD

[ILoveallguitars]

The Sax kinda kills it for me :p

[ishta]

@ILoveallguitars How so? He is a great player. Bireli would not play with any of these guys if they were no good at all.

[wachita15]

@ILoveallguitars haha yeah the sax does sound out of place

[SaXDuDe17]

Boom chick boom chick boom chick boom chick

[FreddyBear4u2hav]

what does he say at the beginning?

[zeQHCF]

Does anyone see Stochelo in this video? Stop the contest and enjoy this video!

[hellookelly]

Stochelo would slap all of you for comparing him to Bireli. NOBODY on this earth is as good as Bireli. He is THE GENIUS of our times and since mozart never has there been anyone even close except django

[TheDrones77]

argh, this music is so great!

[nikoclimber]

effectivement arriver à placer du mozart dans son chorus(à 1:35/1:40), chapeau, la class! et puis ça sonne quand meme.grande culture musicale dans tous les domaines ce mec!il est à l'aise avec tous les styles musicaux! pas enfermé dans un seul style; il va toujours nous chercher une petite phrase qui sort de l'ordinaire et qui fait que sa sonne...bireli!!!super class!!!

[RashdanAziz]

always my guitar hero...salute!!!

[latchoniglo]

interpretation magnifique, avec de tres grand musicien.j'en ai des frisson!!!!

[Psychonium]

gonna listen to him tonight, in basel, switzerland. =)

[Homerjay66666]

The vibrato at 0:48 is so awesome! What a player,

[rockinredneck57]

Nice job. Now do it with just two fingers like Django!

[MariusPetersGitarre]

grwat!

[2bonifatius]

I saw him several times hundred years ago as a little boy 11, 12, 13 years old. even then he was a great virtuoso, very classical but impressing. But now...wow! By the way he got more hair!

[guitaralbert0]

he plays a stefan hahl guitar

[JSGayMusic]

This is absolutely incredible! If only there was such video available of Django.. I'm sure it'd be just as impressive.

[KooGuitar]

"Un, du,  You all know what to do"

[vre313]

THE MAFIA THE MAFIA GAME ITS THE MUSIC

[ziggysk8z]

what's the joke he makes before they start the song? i dont speak much french sorry

[Ronynerozzi]

great great bireli, very good

[johnnylance]

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say: WoW! Bireli's technique makes me smile, and cry at the same time.

[dylanlawless1]

HOLY SHIT how did i not hear it before...

listen at 1:36

grand master

[bdbjr28]

why not care about the music rather than dumb things like clothes

[samuelshepard]

i do care about the music, which is why i watched the performance? but you'd think that if people took their time to go to their performance that they'd want to look nice as well??? its like going to a wedding in a t-shirt and jeans. which only my elatives in southern ohio and arkansas do

[FATIME132]

bireli le magnifique !!!!!!!

[samuelshepard]

what is it about guys that play jazz on stage but wear t-shirts? the lack of class bothers me, especially with this style of music...

[bdbjr28]

@samuelshepard so pretentious

[hazor777]

HA! How ironic! I was thinking the same thing about clueless douchebags who have nothing better to do but make ridiculous comments on YOUTUBE.And yes,ASSHOLE, Im referring to YOU !!!!

[samuelshepard]

that IS ironic since you're doing the same thing ha

[hazor777]

the world is full of irony.....& iron

[samuelshepard]

even rony

[theblindoc]

What a player...great!

[ninalia27]

un dieu de la guitare rien a dire si ce n'est un grand moment de bonheur a voir et a ecouter magnifique....

[CaseyCor]

I would LOVE to have this whole show. Can anyone share it with me?

[johnnylance]

The run starting at 1:40 and ending at 2:00 makes me want to slit my wrists... but want to live to listen to more Birelli...

[bustan44]

I need a crepe.

[hellmonster666]

@bustan44 haha

[tkaschuba]

Maybe Bireli is a genetic freak. How else it should work? It seems there is no technical limitation to him ...

[mathendo]

Super.

Dans un autre genre, mais à découvrir, car multitalent exceptionnel: Thom Wei.

Cherchez-le sur Youtube. Vaut le détour.

[aahmalasfar]

finally , i found it

yes it is Mozart symphony No.40

thank you very much lukeev

[lukeev]

Ha! Nice work!

:)

[TLPnega]

in my opinion bireli is just so much better than stochelo. He contructs his solo so well.

[guitarguy1966]

agreed, he has no equal in gypsy jazz...forget about the ridiculous technique, ....the feel!!!

[dennoow]

@TLPnega He has more control over the guitar as well.

[pencap23]

@TLPnega No contest; I hero worshiped Stochelo for a long time until I finally realized what I was doing. Remarkable tone, but the man sadly repeats the same stuff ALL the time!

[xemosintightsx]

@pencap23 agreed however the man really can improvise as proven by many of his random jam sessions with various other guitarists, including bireli. it's when he's on stage that it seems like he recycles the same licks that he's been playin for years. there are however, specific phrases (licks, whatever you want to clal them) that can be attributed to stochelo only.

[aahmalasfar]

No Answer !!

[aahmalasfar]

No answer

[aahmalasfar]

Would some one tell me the name of this music at time of 1:36 , please ?

[lukeev]

Not sure, isn't it a Mozart phrase?

[aminer3000]

@lukeev

Mozart's 40th Symphony...the opening.

[Baltzy24]

@aahmalasfar from Mozart's 40th symphony.

[yngwiesatch]

@aahmalasfar is symphony no 40 mozart

[sanyodude14]

@aahmalasfar Mozart symphony No.40

[paulviolino]

Wow!

[HichamBadriTOBIS]

Omg 1:35

[johnygitta]

piereli ist und pleibt der beste kan keiner

topen was der kann grüsse an alle fens

und an piereli wen er das lesen solte

[chgodong]

yeah! i love tis song. minor swing is the first django song i learned. it^s a perfect song to get closer to gypsy jazz on guitar. the best django song ever, even if anybody can play it or along it. thanks for posting this beautiful version.

[wenjus]

1:20 ''O.O

[woozawozzle]

Holy crap that sax player is one tall mofo

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

he looks like Jaco at :50-1:00

[JSGuitar80]

I wish Bireli were my dad.

[calvinrabbit]

讚!!!

[flatpick4eadg]

H! Theres the sound that swings...Birelli backed up by Hono winterstein on rhythm guitar and Diego Imbert on double bass. Frank Wolf provides the reed wind effects.

How could anyone listen to this and not be toe tapping??

[HotelBushranger]

Sounds suspiciously like some of the music from the game Mafia...

[viverridae]

Django Reinhardt's original version of "Minor Swing" is on the Mafia soundtrack I think.

[guitaralbert0]

thank you for putting this version back up!

[Menintheshadow]

it sounds execly like the king django

[jabf123]

how is call his weird guitar?

[lukeev]

I'm not certain, but it might be something similar to a Selmer Maccaferri. It's a fully customized hand-made guitar for sure.

[guitaralbert0]

@lukeev it is a stefan hahl model guitar. they run about 15,000 bucks!!!!!

[gohabsgo91]

@lukeev

It's a Jacques Favino, hand made guitar indeed

[lukeev]

@gohabsgo91 Ah, brilliant. Thanks!

[xiz90]

GITANE D-500

[thomashoffman]

It's actually Stefan Hahl Gitano, Bireli's custom model.

[GuitarBjorn]

Thats humor

[samissossa]

merci bireli!!!

[MrE898]

so that's where half the world's talent went

[doddsalfa]

No. 3/4:(

[sintygypsy]

Bireli must have a super power like the guys on Heroes. His special power is to take all the musical talent from half the world, he didnt leave any for me :[ Bireli is king.

[bailey6757]

manifique!!

[33333wert]

Thanks and best regards

[brainpolice2]

Sweet.

[tomdeforbach]

le maitre simplement

[33333wert]

Can somebody write in English what he says at the beginning please ;-)))

[aurelh78]

"Je me suis torturé l'épaule gauche mais c'est pas grave !!"

"I've hurt my left shoulder but it's not important !!"

[Yao0o]

"torturé" might be closer to "tortured" than "hurt" ^^

[jabf123]

thx

[sidharta33]

am i the only one who secretly wants to smack him across the fingers???he is the man!!!

[yoni445]

franck wolf gache tout

[jimmiskos]

mr.birelli give a diferen't feel in this legendary tune.

[lukeev]

The man is an alien genius from hyperspace.
