This is doubtlesslely his best album and an all-time gypsy jazz classic :P
Like you, I'm crazy about his staccato sound...
About a month ago, I pulled out this Tchan Tchou CD (la Gitane) and put it in my car and really enjoyed it. I kept meaning to resurrect one of these threads on Tchan-Tchou (and there are several interesting ones here). I'll second the OP's exhortation to buy this CD if you don't already own it. It isn't going to represent the latest style in this genre, but it is fantastic playing. As on the conversation on a recent thread, there is definitely a connection to him through Moreno. A very strong attack but still clear articulation is what I personally hear. Anyone else own this or still listen to it? While it used to be on Spotify, I don't find any of his work available there now (in the US).
If you browse enough of the old threads, you'll find some unfortunate holes in conversations, especially when TedG left and all his posts with historic information and experience were lost unless where quoted in someone else's comments. @scot thanks for still hanging around and for your great contributions to the history of some of these folks!
Some old threads on Tchan-Tchou include:

and even one of his guitars was for sale here once.

I was just listening, it's great. Thanks!
