I've been into Gypsy Jazz just now. Sarap pala netong pakinggan. Ewan ko lang kung ganun din pag tutugtugin. Mukhang mahirap kasi eh.hehehe

Sa ngayon ni-r-research ko mga recordings ni Django Reinhardt. May mga nakikita rin ako na videos sa net.

Django inspired Andreas Oberg...

Eto pa isa, si Stochelo Rosenberg naman. Galing!

Napakalawak din talaga ng jazz music...

Any recommendations from you guys BTW?

Man, that Andreas guy is pretty wild! Definitely a notch above the trad gypsy style ... He kinda reminds me of Benson when he starts playing with reckless abandon ..

Gypsy, you say? Do check out Bireli Lagrene ... he's got a lot of clips there as well - some of them even with McLaughlin (another favorite)

For quite some time, Bireli was touted as the heir to Django's throne ..

Oo nga eh.

Sige, check ko rin si Bireli.

Thanks for the mention.

Bireli is just too awesome! What an amazing talent, a virtuoso at such a young age. Of most players on the scene, his playing conveys the true "gypsie" free spirit.

If you're into that stuff, you may want to look for recordings by Elek Bacsik. He recorded stuff with violinist Stephane Grappelli. It was my introduction to Gypsy jazz when I was 15 and thought the world of rock guitar. My perception of the instrument changed because of that 33 rpm recording from a live set in France.

I could also recommend the soundtrack to Woody Allen's The Sweet and Lowdown. It features the awesomeness that is Howard Alden. Hell, go ahead and check out the movie itself. It's about a really cocky jazz guitarist from the turn of the century. He thinks he's the best out there, but wouldn't ever want to be in the same room as Django when he's performing.

Not exactly a gypsy, but you can also check out the recordings of mandolinist David Grisman. Iba yung trip niya, he's into fusing bluegrass and jazz but the results sound similar to the french "Le Jazz Hot" recordings of Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grapelli. Grisman is still alive today so you can google him up or surf for his recordings.

Grisman calls his bluegrass-jazz fusion "dawg" music, so his website is www.dawgnet.com

Been listening to him a lot lately. I find him very aggressive (musically speaking) sometimes, though. Great player and muso nonetheless.

hey guys, let me revive this thread by sharing to you my friend's take on Django's Minor Swing...

fusionenigma · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2008, 10:52:15 AM »

uy thanks rfe.

it's nice to know that there are other people here in philmusic who appreciate the sub-genre.

dami pa magagaling. angelo debarre. JIMMY rosenberg. tchavolo schmitt. dorado schmitt (guitarist-violinist din parang bireli). joscho stephan. martin taylor plays beautiful manouche jazz as well. and of course, violinist stephane grappelli.

Lahed92801 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 03, 2008, 08:26:15 AM »

Andreas Oberg is my absolute favorite contemporary Jazz player on the international scene.

Joscho Stephan is also a beast:

william251082 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 08, 2008, 05:34:50 AM »

Idagdag ko lang si TOMATITO. Kasama niya dito ang isa sa pinaka-paborito kong pianista, si Michel Camilo...

Onga yang si micheal camilo ang galing! Favorite version ko ng blue bossa yung sa kaniya!

Ty Tol! Oks din iyong mga vids mo tol.

Kung ako po ang uuri sa istilo ni Tomatito ay nasa uri na Flamenco Jazz o pwede ring Gypsy Jazz, maa-ari ring Latin Jazz. Walang pinag-kaiba kay Allan Holdsworth na minsan ay nahahanay siya sa Rock at minsan naman ay nasa Jazz, kaya kung ako ang titingin sa istilo niya ay masasabi kong jazz-rock ang istilo niya na malalim ang laman.

thank you sir.
