CD recommendations, please

SRL251

I'm relatively new to the world of GJ coming from a traditional jazz guitar background. I'm wondering if you all would make some recommendations
of post-Django GJ guitarist CDs that you would consider 'essential'. I'm unsure where to start and would appreciate your help.

Any of Bireli's gypsy project stuff is worth a look

I've been listen to his new album which is great. A bit different, but really nice he even sings on this one and the solos are incredible as usual.

You can look at the list of recommended CDs from the Djangostation web site:

The site is in French but that CD list is a good place to start IMHO. Some of those albums can be hard to find but most of them can be found right here on Djangobooks.

There are so many to list, I can tell you the CD's I keep listening to:

I think the latest Rosenberg Trio is one of the best modern gypsy jazz CDs ever. I've been listening to it a lot lately!

Fapy Lafertin's Hungaria is still one I listen to all the time, it literally sounds like it's from the 40s:

Manouche Partie with Matelot and Jo Privat is another one I keep coming back to. The arrangements are brilliant and I think they sound a lot more modern than stuff today, despite being recorded in the 60s:
