Bireli
Lagrene is one of the most accomplished jazz guitarists
active today. His career, which started around the age of 10, has
included performances with some of the world’s top musicians. He has
shared the stage with fusion guitarist Larry
Coryell, fretless bass pioneer Jaco
Pastorius, and accordion virtuoso Richard
Galliano. Biréli is a master of numerous styles including
bebop, fusion, and swing. He is also a multi instrumentalist with
phenomenal skill on guitar (electric and acoustic), electric bass, and
drums.
However, Bireli’s musical roots lie in the music of Django
Reinhardt. Like most Sinti children, he was immersed in Django’s music
from a very young age. While growing up in the Gypsy camps of the
Alsace region of Eastern France, he developed incredible technical and
improvisational skill. His talent was quickly recognized, resulting in
performances across Europe as a young as age 10.
To learn more about Bireli’s music see his new book: Guitar Project
