Black? I thought they were supposed to be red for gypsy jazz...

Jack

Nice one Denis--let's play it in June!

Tele295

C'est magnifique!

That guitar has terrific bass response and round sound. I love the arco bass lines!

Bob Holo

Nice work Denis - very tasteful. I'm looking forward to the album!

Flabben

Beautilful Dennis, nice version of a wonderful tune.

For the hard-core geeks out there: Griegs composition was originally inspired by a folk tune called 'Halling from Åmot' (Lindeman 102). Before learning this I had heard Jon Larsen refer to a different tune called 'When Old Nick :twisted: ran into Marifjøra', and a bit of Googling reveals that the two are related - being local versions. One I found on Youtube :shock: Notice the hammer on the table diggin' it, and be inspired (By the way, in Griegs days the 8-string Hardanger fiddle was rarely backed by African drums ... ).
