What CD's to buy next?

flaco

Hi everyone,
I bought Django's "The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order" several years ago and I love it. I've been a guitar player for 20 years now playing other styles and finally decided to start learning some of Django's music. I also want to build up my collection of music. What would be the next most essential Django recordings? I don't have any of his later stuff or his electric stuff. Also, what are the classic non-Django gypsy jazz recording to buy first? Something by Bireli or the Rosenbergs?

Thanks!

I've been enjoying the Ferret Trio box set - contemporaries of Django

Tele, thanks!! I've been musing on the Ferrets a lot, lately, since re-reading Michael Dregni's Gypsy Jazz: In Search of Django...someone just added something to his Christmas list. And he's been a pretty good boy.

Currently digging Romane Roots and Grooves. Also, Robin Nolan Live at Samois is absolutely smokin!

I'm not one for being traditional for trad's sake.

Definitely the Fapy lejazzetal reissues, and also "O Welto Risela", which is a beautiful, special album that I almost disregarded at first listen, but which sticks with me and regularly pops into my head - great songs.

Tchavolo's "Miri Familia", "Seven Gypsy Nights" or "Alors...Voila"

All great, classic albums, and reasonably demonstrative of two very different trends in, and approaches to the music.

Oops, sorry, Michael. I always try to find things on your site first before posting them but missed that one somehow.
