Rocky Gresset on Monde's TV5's jazz show commemorating Django's Centenaire.
This guy has a wonderful touch. He has a near perfect mix of archtop & acoustic style... He can make that big Gibson jazzbox cry - and then hop on his gypsy guitar and light-it-up old-school style or do the new French school (ala Selmer607) style. I really hope he comes to Djangofest in the near future. He is a rare talent. He got signed by Dreyfus a few months ago and has been doing some really phenomenal work.
