Album Description

On "Move," Bireli Lagrene modernizes the classic gypsy jazz sound of Django Reinhardt with breathtaking results. Using a smaller group and new instrumentation (including brilliant sax work by Franck Wolf), this new Gipsy Project now employs a versatile quartet to delve further into the melodic subtleties and dynamic depth of gypsy jazz music.

5 out of 5 stars Excellence!.......2007-03-25

This is possibly the best jazz album I have heard, only likely contenders being some of Birel's other cd's. Bireli has two sides to him. There is the straight ahead bebop style ala George Benson and Wes Montgomery and then there is the jazz manouche side pioneered by Django Reinhart in the '30s. On this album, you are treated to both seperately as well as together. Such songs as "Hungaria" and "Troublant Bolero" stand out as being purely gypsy while "Place Du Tertre" and "Cherokee" stand out as straight ahead jazz masterpieces. There is not a bad or boring song on the whole album which is very rare to find in any genre. Some highlights would be "Un Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi" written by bassist Diego Imbert, "Hungaria", "Danse Norvegiene", "Mimosa", "Place Du Tetre", "This Can't Be Love", and "Troublant Bolero". For some of the best jazz, gypsy swing, gypsy music, you should BUY THIS CD!

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful guitar a la Django.......2006-08-30

Sometime not too long ago, Bireli Lagrene decided to stop running away from his God-given talent to play exactly as Django Reinhard, and instead embrace it. This record is in my opinion far better than Gypsy Project, which suffers from some highly irritating violin playing. For some viciously swinging gypsy jazz featuring Bireli's astounding lines, I recommend Move! as well as the even better Routes to Django, recorded when Bireli was 13 years old.

3 out of 5 stars An immense talent still in search of a direction........2006-04-17

When a fellow student (I'm a jazz guitarist and teacher) ask me "who's the greatest guitarist in the world" meaning technical skills, the answer is easy: Bireli Lagrene. There is no limit in what this guy can do on the guitar, he can play better than Django, Jimy Hendrix. Wes Montgomery etc. He can play in whatever style he wants. He can be lyrical and make you move and cry, or fast as a lighting and aggressive as a panzer, playing the most intricate and incredibly difficoult things with absolute souplesse and easyness, like drink a glass of water. Awesome, astounding, incredible, unbelievable, say as you like. BUT. Ther is a but. It seems that he still don't know exactly what kind of road follow, what music, what style, what esthetic develop in his musicians life. You see him one day playing bebop, one day playing jazz/rock fusion, another day playing Django... he seems to me a bit confused. In this CD he plays a sort of "Django Style" project music together with a though rhythm section (Hono Winterstein on guitar and Diego Imbert on bass) and a completely out of contest sax player (Franck Wolf), probably more suitable as section player in an orchestra rather than stand out as a Bireli sideman. The final result is disappointing. After a couple of enjoyable listening to the Bireli's funambolyc virtuosysm, the music gets boring, repetitive, confused. If you want to listen to the best Bireli, get "Viaggio" by Richard Galliano. Will Bireli finally find a deeper personal musical way or will he forever act the "fastest gun in the West" role?

5 out of 5 stars the best of Bireli's 'Gypsy Project' series.......2005-11-04

When most people hear the term "gypsy jazz" they think of that classic pre-WWII Hot Club sound that Django and Stephane Grappelli pioneered. Much has happened in the past 6 decades within the genre, although one wouldn't guess it by the sound of Bireli's two previous "Gypsy Project" albums. With 'Move' Bireli takes a step away from the cliches (how many times has Minor Swing been recorded now?) and offers up some fresh thoughts and playing (even if Django and his contemporaries also recorded with saxophonists) with the great rhythm guitarist Hono Winterstein and the lyrical Frank Wolf on sax. If you're looking for predictable licks and pyrotechnic shredding on the guitar, you won't find them here. But maybe there's a Joscho Stephan album somewhere for you.

5 out of 5 stars Stunning new take on Gypsy Jazz.......2005-05-03

Bireli is not only one of the best living guitar players in gypsy jazz - he is also one of the most creative. On this album, he gives us a new take on Django's music that is simply stunning. "Move" has a smaller, more focused sound that it's predecessors, and the addition of the saxophone brings a really fresh twist to this great old music.

Bireli is one of the hottest jazzmen around - this disc is all the evidence you'll need to draw the same conclusion. Bravo!

              4 out of 5 stars DAY DREAMING DORIS.......2001-07-31

              There are more complete collection of DORIS DAY on the market,but at this price certainly this one delivers ,giving you 29 songs including some of her most fondly remembered songs.O.K. so they forgot to include liner notes but it goes with the price.Let's not forget that DORIS was dug by the likes of SARAH VAUGHAN who as you know,knew a thing or two about the art of singing.I especially enjoyed the 3 VINCENT YOUMANS songs that DORIS recorded for the movie TEA FOR TWO,and also those WALTER DONALDSON numbers from the movie LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME.DORIS had a real feeling for that 1920's material, but there are other fine moments as well.Like DINAH SHORE with whom she is often compared,DORIS DAY has remained fresh in the memory of her fans.Like SARAH,we also dig the lady and please let's erase that famous legend that she is suppose to be the virgin of AMERICA,because she deserves better.
