BIRELI LAGRENE


BIRELI LAGRENE
GIPSY PROJECT
MOVE (2004)
320 KBPS

When most people hear the term "gypsy jazz" they think of that classic pre-WWII Hot Club sound that Django and Stephane Grappelli pioneered. Much has happened in the past 6 decades within the genre, although one wouldn't guess it by the sound of Bireli's two previous "Gypsy Project" albums. With 'Move' Bireli takes a step away from the cliches (how many times has Minor Swing been recorded now?) and offers up some fresh thoughts and playing (even if Django and his contemporaries also recorded with saxophonists) with the great rhythm guitarist Hono Winterstein and the lyrical Frank Wolf on sax. If you're looking for predictable licks and pyrotechnic shredding on the guitar, you won't find them here and that's a great news! Just get it and swing you body to Bireli's unique sense of groove!

ah bah justement, je l'ai découvert en concert au new morning, gentiment invité par mon frangin et j'étais un peu frustré de l'écouter laisser jouer ses musiciens plus que "lui-même".

On va voir ce qu'il a dans le ventre!

Merci!
