I was doing some sorting out of my photos and came across these black & whites that I took of Fapy & Tchavolo jamming at Birmingham, UK in 2003. This was a rare appearance of these 2 great gypsy-jazz artistis on the same stage, which brought back great memories, that I thought I would share.

cheers and happy holidays to all!

Phil

    I'm sure I'm not the only one, but if this is from L'Esprit Manouche '03, I've got a DVD of the performance. If there aren't any legal issues, I'd be glad to send Michael a copy after the new year (I'll have to head to the folks to make the copy) to post on the site.

    Best,
    Jack.

    I started watching this the other day (I've had it for a while and enjoyed it many times) and while I was specifically looking for one scene, I wound up watching the entire DVD again: it is very well done. Tip of the hat to Archtop Eddy for a great video!

    I tried to add an excerpt of the concert as attachment here, but it did not work well... So here is a link to the video on my website with Tchavolo goldies... Enjoy!

    Thanks
    That video is great!!!! It is so nice to watch Tchavolo and Fapy play .
    Could you tell me the name of the tune? Also I would give and ask for
    opinions about what happens when you put two soloists together.
    I think that a great guitar player should be a great backup guy when
    he is not soloing, ie not stepping all over the lead guy either rhythmically,
    harmonically or with volume. It seems to me that one of these guys is
    quite good at that and the other isn't. I saw Dorado do it to Angelo
    Debarre in NY and always wondered if these guys are trying to
    screw the soloist up or if they are just unaware. I vote for the latter.

    Any Thoughts

    Is the tune Tchawalo Swing, slowed down? The one from Swing '93/Gypsy Reunion.

    I think you're a great backup guy, when you're not killin' it out front, Tom! (I know you're not fishing for complements, I just had to say it).

    best,

    I am grateful for the compliment now I am trying to figure out who this
    mysterious Plankity is so I can send him 5 bucks this is the best press I have gotten in a while!!! Write me an email

    I will listen again to see if you are right about the tune. And I am always
    curios to see what people think about this question of being a good
    supporter for a soloist.

    Thanks Tom

    yes Tom, Tchavolo plays poor rhythm on this - far too intrusive and too many outside chords that clash with what Fapy is doing.

    I am glad it's not just me who thinks so. I still wonder why?
