Must Own GJ CDs

Bryan T

I have several Django CDs, as well as CDs from a few other GJ artists, but I'd like to expand my collection. Since I have a lot of Django already, can you help me put together a list of 10 or so "must own" GJ CDs by other GJ players?

Thanks,
Bryan

Though it's a bit of a crapshoot (it depends on what you're interested in), here are a few ideas:

By album:
Gypsy Guitars (Debarre, Camps, Anastasio)
Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival (Rosenberg Trio)
Seresta (Rosenberg Trio)
Musik Deutscher Ziguener set (multivolume set of great German players)
Tziganskaia (Matelo Ferret)
Manouche Partie (M. Ferret & Jo Privat)
Romane (Impair & Valse, which comes with printable scores)

By artist:
Bireli Lagrene (try the Gypsy Project discs)
Raphael Fays (Jazz Hot-The Gipsy Way)
Tchavolo Schmitt (Alors?...Voila!, and Miri Familia)
At least one Fapy Lafertin (Hungaria, Swing Guitars, Fleur de Lavende, Fine and Dandy)
Moreno (Yochka, or Fils du Vent)
Tchan-Tchou (Guitare Partie, Swinging Guitars)

And of course there are many, many more, as I'm sure you'll hear...

Best,
Jack.

I don´t know if it is still available. I got this CD directly from Simon Planting, who is the bass player of Fapys Band.

I´m not sure if "Aurore" is part of a 3-CD-Box-Set which is called "Best of Hot Club" or similar. Two of the records are Gypsy Boys and one is Fapy Lafertin. But as I already said - I am really not sure.
