This review is from: Andreas, Ritary & Yorgui (Audio CD)
A friend who plays Gypsy Jazz tipped me off to the two "native" Gypsy guitarists on this CD - Ritary Gaguenetti and Yorgui Loeffler.
Both are little known outside of the closest Gypsy Jazz circles, both are excellent performers of the style that goes by so many names - Hot Club, Jazz Manouche, Gypsy Jazz, Jazz Gitanes...
And of course, Andreas Oberg is a fine performer in his own right, but like the old argument about Black Blues musicians vs. White Blues musicians, I'll admit a slight preference to the two who were born and raised in the Gypsy society and with a guitar in hand from the age that most of us can hardly say our own name.
Among the Gypsy Jazz standards and other covers, there are also a few tribute pieces, one to the great Tchavolo Schmitt, and one to Bireli Lagrene (who was a wonder boy of Gypsy Jazz himself not so long ago).
This is a very balanced well recorded, and satisfying set, and I can recommend it to all lovers of good acoustic Gypsy Jazz guitar.
