Of all the gypsy guitarists to follow the path blazed by Django Reinhardt,
Bireli Lagrene has perhaps inherited more of Reinhardt's restless musical
spirit than any other. Since making his recorded debut in 1980 at the age
of 13, Lagrene has experimented with a wide variety of styles, including
fusion and hard bop. Gypsy Project and Friends is the second CD from
Lagrene and the band he formed to play Hot Club-style swing. The
selections include a well-chosen mix of popular Reinhardt-Grappelli
compositions such as "Djangology" and "Minor Swing," along with less
familiar tunes like "Ma Premiere Guitare," which was written by the
French guitarist Sacha Distel. Lagrene's band features the amazing
Romanian fiddler Florin Niculescu, who plays swing with a fiery passion.
The friends include guitarists Thomas Dutronc, "Hono" Winterstein, and
Stochelo Rosenberg, who is one of the most technically accomplished
guitarists playing in the gypsy jazz style. Lagrene and his companions
play these songs in a way that perfectly balances respect for the
tradition with the desire to innovate and move the style into the
future. - Michael Simmons
