Beyond Django - recommended listening?

apwebb

Hi all,

I'm a new explorer in the world of Gypsy Swing, having grown up listening to the great Django.

After seeing Stochelo & Sebastien last week (bloody awesome, inspirational) I would very keen to hear of anyone's recommendations for must hear recordings of post Django guitar players.

Many thanks,

Andrew

Wow, no replies? Ok, I'll pop in with a few of my faves in no particular order...

Tchavolo Schmitt - Miri Famila
Lollo Meier - Rosas
Angelo Debarre - Gipsy Unity
Moreno - Manouche D'aujourd'hui
Fapy Lafertin & Le Jazz/Tim Kliphuis - literally anything

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the great suggestions.

I was starting to feel like I had said something wrong.

Buco

A couple of albums I enjoyed a lot (and still do):
Rocky Gresset-self titled album
Yourgui Loeffler-Bouncin' around
Both are amazing works of art.

Barkonator

Here are a some of my favorites:
Les Doigts De l'Homme- 1910 and Mumbo Jumbo
Gonzalo Bergara Quartet- Walking Home
The Rosenberg Trio- Roots
Stephane Wrembel Trio with David Grisman- Gypsy Rumble

thanks Buco & Barkonator!

Rosenberg Trio - Roots is killer. Very nicely recorded too.

I purchased Rosenberg Live at the Northsea yesterday, which is pretty mindblowing.

Sebastian Ginieaux's record is nice, quite adventurous with a slight modern classical bent which I enjoy.

There are a few albums that I've been listening to quite frequently:

Angelo Debarre and Tchavalo Schmitt: Memoires: Memories of Django
Angelo Debarre: Come into my Swing (with incredible accordionist Ludovic Beier)
Les Doigts De l'Homme has been mentioned, but Mumbo Jumbo, the self-titled first album, and 1910 are fantastic
Bireli Lagrene - I really like Gipsy Project and Friends and Move
Romane - If you can find French Guitar, it is a superb record. I have not seen that one available for sale for a reasonable price however.
Stochelo and Romane: Double Jeu teams up two masters in Stochelo Rosenberg and Romane.

I highly recommend "Django Club", which is like a supergroup made up of Sebastien Giniaux, Riona Monbet, Richard Manetti, Jeremie Arranger, and Adrien Moignard. They play original tunes, but in the spirit of (and inspired by) old ones. Here they are at Samois:

Ackk, ARML moment. But the CD Angelo did with ?Moreno Winterstein??? With Letchko Gurgo on it. That is one of my faves of Angelo's works.
