Manouche

This song, recorded in a living room features David Grisman on mandolin, Frank Vignola and Robin Nolan on guitars, and Michael Papillo on bass. The instruments used on this particular recording are interesting as well. Grisman uses a Giacomel J5 mandolin made in Italy. The archtop guitar played by Vignola is a Thorell Legato. Nolan plays a nylon stringed Dell'Arte DG-RN1, the Robin Nolin model, which is built in the tradition of Jacques Favino.

Austrian gypsy guitarist Zipflo Weinrich with Josch(k)o Schneeberger on bass from the late 80ies, enjoy!

The "Caffe' Espresso - Made In Italy" project by the Italian guitarist Marco Vienna is a very original acoustic jazz CD. An instrumental rendition of 12 beatiful Italian songs (from the repertoire of Bruno Martino, Gorni Kramer, Fabio Concato, Ennio Morricone, Piero Umiliani and others) loosely played in the style of Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club De France, but with a more modern and "Mediterranean" mood.

This concert selected out of all those recorded during the Les Nuits Manouches Festival at last gives us the opportunity to re-experience the reality of that evening, the art of this singular musician, outstanding instrumentalist and unusual personality.Debarre who began playing at age 8, has performed in several significant Romani and jazz festivals, particularly Birdland's "Django festival." He's one of the most active and requested Gypsy guitar player in the world.

Veritable collectors d’un enregistrement live des annГ©es 80 . J’espГЁre que vous aurez du plaisir entendre ces merveilleux musiciens.
Real collectors a live recording of the 80s. I hope you will enjoy hearing these wonderful musicians.

Centenaire de la naissance de Django oblige, Guitarist Acoustic ne pouvait pas passer a cote. C’est pourquoi le magazine sort en ce debut d’annee un exceptionnel numero Special Django, inaugurant ainsi une nouvelle formule de Hors Serie destinee on l’imagine a se pereniser.

Personnel: Reinier Voet (guitar); Gert Wantenaar (accordion).As with most of the guitarists recorded by the Hot Club label, Reinier Voet's style and sound are similar to that of Django Reinhardt. What is different about the set on Swing for Bop, other than having Gert Wantenaar's accordion in the place of a violin, is that the repertoire is often quite boppish. Voet explores six of his own tricky originals, five Django songs (including the lesser-known "Fleche d'Or" and "Place de Brouckere"), two standards and three obscurities. Some of the performances are duets and trios without the accordion but, no matter what the instrumental setting or the source of the music, it holds one's interest throughout. Reinier Voet's variety of arrangements, solos and settings keep one guessing as he stretches the Django Reinhardt tradition a bit.

Tout feu, tout bleu. S’il fallait dépeindre le nouvel album de Jil Caplan avec des couleurs, ce serait celles-là. Feu comme le brasier de la colère et l’incendie de la passion, bleu comme l’azur infini et les meurtrissures de l’âme. La braise et le blues, la flamme et le spleen. Il conviendrait aussi d’y ajouter sensualité et mélancolie, tournoyant dans un tourbillon d’émotions. Comme un soleil noir, aussi sombre qu’incandescent. Sur les cendres danser, pour retrouver la joie, l’envol, pour revivre tout simplement. Après la pop électro de Derrière la porte et le jazz manouche d’Imparfaite, ses précédents albums, Jil Caplan revient à ses éternelles amours, un retour aux sources qui l’ont toujours nourrie : le folk rock à guitares, les ballades charnelles, les harmonies subtiles, quelque part entre Paul McCartney et Jeff Buckley.
