Gypsy Jazz Duets came together under an unusual and somewhat improvised set of circumstances. Yet, in the true spirit of “gypsy jazz,” those improvisations gave birth to an extraordinary learning experience for any jazz guitarist, particularly for those with a passion for gypsy jazz guitar. TrueFire’s radar screen started beeping loudly when it picked up that two of our favorite jazz players, Andreas Oberg and Frank Vignola would be within a hundred miles of our studios within just a few weeks. Both also happen to be very accomplished students of gypsy jazz guitar, a subject we’ve long wanted to present. And while both artists had heard of each other, they had not met nor played together in the past. Over the course of the next few weeks, we worked out the logistics of the session while Frank and Andreas worked out the curriculum and outline for the course. Frank and Andreas met for the first time on the day of the session to review the material.

Jazz, Django Style, Swing, Jazz Violin, Jazz Vocal | Released: January 14, 2003

Mark O'Connor's second CD with his Hot Swing Trio is more than just a salute to the late, legendary jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli; it firmly establishes as him as a bona fide jazz violin virtuoso, thanks to being distributed by a major label this time around. The capable guitarist plays gypsy swing a la Django Reinhardt without sounding like a clone; bassist , who spent a decade as a member of Grappelli's rhythm section in his last years, provides a perfect match for his two bandmates. Each member of the trio contributed originals to the session. O'Connor's "In Full Swing" is absolutely breathtaking, while it is fun imagining how Grappelli and Reinhardt might have interpreted his enticing "Stephane and Django."

On her third self-released album, Suzy Bogguss, one of the finest female vocalists living and working in Nashville, allows one of her many passions to come to the surface on Swing. With Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson in the producer's chair, Bogguss kicks out 12 classy pop, jazz, and swing tunes with a smoking band making a timeless sound. Benson knows the feel of this music inside and out (and brought his violin player, the Stephane Grappelli-inspired Jason Roberts, along for the ride), and Bogguss, whose mom is a big Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald fan, can sing virtually anything – but has a special affinity for the swing book – with a twist. There are nuggets of the repertoire here, such as Nat King Cole's "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me" as well as "Comes Love" – closely associated with Billie Holiday – and the great Ken Burgan tune "Sweetheart."

The story about Jimmy Rosenberg is a classic rock’n’roll tragedy. Everything about him was extraordinary, not only the music, the turbulence, the party lion, and his raw force as a guitar player, but also his sensitivity – like Jimi Hendrix and Chet Baker combined. He reached the top before he was 18, but when tragedy struck, it hit hard, and despite a couple of premature attempts to a comeback, Jimmy Rosenberg has not yet recovered from his collapse on stage in 2004. This exceptional talent is portrayed in documentary films, and his nine album releases are amazing snaphots of the young master at work. At his best he played the guitar like no other before him, but there were nights when he could barely play at all. Today he is withdrawn from public life, like a Greta Garbo of jazz. To get a perspective on Jimmy The Kid we can start with two incidents in the Dutch sinti community in his childhood.

Hard swinging, original, all-acoustic gypsy jazz straight from New Orleans! The New Orleans based Russell Welch Hot Quartet plays an exciting, fresh version of swing-era jazz in the style of the great gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. The group's first release (all original music), Showarama Hot Trio, was nominated "Best Traditional Jazz Album" by the New Orleans Offbeat Music Awards who called the playing, "masterful," and a review by Offbeat Magazine stated, "This is no easy listening outing but instead, the kind of spiritually dense record that sparks the mind to be sharper, the tone to be warmer, the heart to be more open."…

Now here's an interesting experiment: take classic melodies by Django Reinhardt, the king of Gypsy jazz ("Nuages," "Minor Swing," "Manoir de Mes Rêves," etc.) and recast them as sambas and bossa novas with an accordion taking the lead. It's certainly not a terrible idea, but a project like this faces a very serious hurdle: the rather defensive liner notes notwithstanding, Reinhardt's music was in fact built on a driving, foursquare rhythmic architecture that could hardly be further removed from the lightly dancing rhythmic patterns of Brazilian jazz.
