Great video and thank you for sharing the link. It's a shame there is a gypsy jazz MTV. Then I might have to get cable....

In regards to the album, I would like to put in my two cents here and say that as a Lagrene & Gypsy Project fan, this is a great cd and I welcome more like it. It took me a while to get use to Sara's voice and there are times when I think some elements border on cheese but they are typical jazz risks and are therefore subjective. Nevertheless this is a worthy effort which features the almighty trinity of Hono, Diego, and Lagrene delivering chompy rhythmic chunkiness I dig. Lagrene's solos are worth hearing as usual and the tunes are short and to the point (most tunes are about 3 minutes, which is refreshing & a nice throwback to earlier gypsy jazz)

Dan Mon Ile, It's alright with me, and Jim are reasons alone to buy this album. I bought the album from itunes yet the unfortunate tradeoff is there is no album jacket and information and I aided a mega corporation.

Hello !

Got the cd and Bireli is excellent - but remember that only God could perform such a miracle and unfortunately Bireli couldn't ! 8)

spatzo and his beyond-the-understandable thoughts...

you'll get used to it, people.. spatzo is a great thinker!

However I still don't know what you mean by "only God could perform"...

I am perplexe..

:shock: Hey Spatzy mon ami!! I agree with Gatsby. I haven't a clue what you are saying here. :? :? :?

Quite simple : Jesus raised Lazarus from death and doing so he performed (made) a miracle ... on another hand Sara Lazarus is not - according to my opinion - a good jazz singer and according to her family tradition with miracles only a miracle could have made hear sing better ...

Très énigmatique. :? But I agree with you about Lazarus.

Where are you seeing them?
I'm seeing Bireli & Gypsy Project this week on Thurs and Sat, but I have seen no mention of there being a singer along. After watching the clip I have to agree with Spatzo...

Hi czecko

I'm gonna see them in Montreal.. I guess you'll see them in NY, and there might not be Sara Lazarus there!

enjoy the concerts! 8)
