Here is a clip of the amazing German Gypsy Wawau Adler. In addition to his mastery of the traditional Django based Gypsy style, Wawau has assimilated bebop style phrases and repertoire from the likes of Wes Montgomery and George Benson. His playing is particularly interesting in that he plays these modern ideas using what appears to be the traditional Gypsy Picking technique.
Wawau is joined by Ritary Gaguenetti and Yorgui Loeffler.

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.
