I see alot of people playing the old tunes and alot making pop covers in a gypsy jazz way.(some very bad).
Which gypsy guitarists make new tunes?
Are there albums without minor swing etc.
Name a few please.
I would like to purchase a cd with new work only.

its pretty awesome. all originals. some tunes that he has been playing live for quite some time, simplicated, broken, death of a good wolf... but several new pieces that are much more classical in feel style and composition that all flow like separate movements of a larger piece. its a very mature work and it all blends together like a concept album. GET IT!!!!!
Post the fecking links to get it..........please
