5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest gypsy jazz albums I've ever heard, March 3, 2005

Bireli keeps on astonishing me. He is without question the best Django style guitarist out there, and this is simply one of the greatest jazz albums I've ever heard! The sax is a nice touch, and Bireli solos on electric on a couple tunes, sounding a lot like George Benson (another fabulous guitarist). Throughout this album, the comping, feel and especially the solos are world class masterpieces. Jazz can't be played any better than this. Buy this record.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fingers as demons of speed: Hence "Move", March 16, 2005

This album shows why Bireli Lagrene is a master guitarist.
I now understand why Nicolo Paganini was labeled by the rubes of his time a "demon" because of the mythicized reported blazing speed onto the Violin. Bireli is a true master of the instrument we know as the guitar: Melodic too! The music is sweet and swingin' and fine and oh so appealing to the ears. But I think you will find as I did, you will refer to the CD notes to find the tune, or the tunes names that truly reflect the exquisite mastery Bireli has. You will be dazzled by the technical brilliance. I will not mention the titles but will allow you the pleasure to discover as I have the finesse this master of the fretted neck commands. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning new take on Gypsy Jazz, May 2, 2005

By 

M Schwaz (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Bireli is not only one of the best living guitar players in gypsy jazz - he is also one of the most creative. On this album, he gives us a new take on Django's music that is simply stunning. "Move" has a smaller, more focused sound that it's predecessors, and the addition of the saxophone brings a really fresh twist to this great old music.

Bireli is one of the hottest jazzmen around - this disc is all the evidence you'll need to draw the same conclusion. Bravo!
