5.0 out of 5 stars
Jazz on a button box!,
By Joel Mabus (Portage, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Les As Du Musette: Gus Viseur in Brussels (Audio CD)
Great album. However it is NOT a LIVE recording. These are humble studio sessions, and alternate takes are included. Dance music of the era, fox trots, watzes, etc. Very melodic, with Gus's box featured along with violin, clarinette, gypsy guitar, and sometimes drums and horns. Some wild solos by Gus show why he was called the Django of the accordian.

Worthy, but not his best,
By k-k-k-kenny (Melbourne, Oz) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Les As Du Musette (Audio CD)
Gus Viseur and Jo Privat are the two real giants of French swing accordion, and ANY Visuer release rewards attention. But this is not his best work. The accompanying musicians are kinda pedestrian, and if this were all you'd heard of him, you might not be enchanted. Amongst what's available as of mid -2008, for the best of Gus' early years (to about 1942) you'd be better off with his "Compositions 1934-1942", whilst for later cool jazz of the highest order, try "De Clichy à Broadway" (recorded 1955 & 1962) - you'll be so glad you did.
I love this here album, of course, but then, I'm a fan of most everything he ever did. |
