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.
