Legend has it that occasionally Django Reinhardt did not make it to his gigs. Perhaps a billiards game caught Django's fancy and time flew by before Django realized that downbeat had come and gone. The story goes that Django's brother Joseph AKA "Nin-Nin would cover for Django by playing lead guitar with the band (Joseph was one of two rhythm guitarists in the band). We can only imagine what the Hot Club of France sounded like with Nin-Nin covering for Django. Until now.

Label Ouest, a French record company (www.label-ouest.net) has released some long out of print Joseph Reinhardt recordings from 1958-1959 in a new CD entitled Joseph Reinhardt joue...Django. These tracks are a gem. We hear Nin-Nin playing lead acoustic guitar with two rhythm guitarists, a bass and a violin. The arrangements are by Nin-Nin, and as a bonus track we have a 1947 recording of Stephane Grapelli's Hot 4 playing a Joseph Reinhardt original ("Oui, Pour Vous Revoir") with Nin-Nin on lead guitar.

The 10 tracks from the late 50's (Another legend is that after Django's death, Nin-Nin gave up the guitar for several years, so these tracks represent a triumphant return to the world of jazz guitar for Nin-Nin) contain three Joseph Reinhardt originals ("Bric-a-brac", "Triste Melodie" and "Manouche", four Django compositions ("Djangology", "Nuages", "Django's Castle" and "Bric Top") and three standards of the day ("Sweet Sue, "I know that You Know" and "Mon Pote Le Gitan").

On several of the tunes we have the melody played going in and a Joseph Reinhardt shout chorus going out. "Sweet Sue" is reharmonized with a chromatic half step movement.

While Nin-Nin was not the great virtuoso that Django was, Nin-Nin was an excellent jazz guitarist, and these tracks are ample proof of that. The improvisations are lyrical, the changes are made, and there are octaves, block chords, tremolo rolls and superb use of a large vocabulary of jazz chords when comping for the violinist. Nin-Nin leaves lots of space, like the best jazz musicians of all eras. This is not an album of shredding or a display of prodigious chops, this is an album of great music. Nin-Nin's older brother would have been proud. Any fan of Gypsy jazz should own this CD. We now know that on those occasions when Django was unable to make it to the gig (billiards can be intoxicating at times!), the audience was treated to the superb jazz guitar sounds of Joseph Reinhardt.

Highly recommended.

Fusing musical genres is probably as old as music itself. Jazz itself is the fusion of African and European music combined on the shores of North America. In the 1960's young jazz musicians like Larry Coryell and Chick Corea brought the beat of the rock music they grew up with into the world of jazz. With the communications of today, musical genres from all over the world are being combined.

Enter Louis Matthee, a guitarist who was born and raised in South Africa who now calls the San Francisco Bay area home. Louis (AKA Lou-Lou) has fused Gypsy jazz with "South African Jazz" in his new release "Gypsy Jive". Joining Lou-Lou in this effort are some of the Bay area's best musicians, Joe Kyle, jr. on bass, Tom Griesser on reeds and Ralph Carney on penny whistle and flute.

Lou-Lou has strong chops on the Selmac guitar and a sound that is rooted in the Django Reinhardt tradition with a Robin Nolanesque touch added for good measure. The albums 10 tracks contain two Gypsy jazz standards (Django's Castle and Lady Be Good), 4 Lou-Lou originals and 4 South African jazz tunes. The music has a very strong Afro-Caribbean feel (often Lou-Lou's guitar licks emulate the steel drums to my ears on this disc), and the danceability of these tunes in always present. The two Gypsy jazz standards are done in a very stylized manner.

Those who look for a cerebral jazz experience will probably find this offering a bit simplistic. The tunes are (mostly) based on simple, repetitious harmonies. Those looking for orthodox Gypsy jazz, keep moving. This is something different. Those looking for something new, something happy and something with a serious groove will love it.

My advice is this; get some friends, go to the beach and bring a boombox and queue up "Gypsy Jive". Play it loud. Your party will be a hit.

Label Quest, a French record company has released an album of 12 Django Reinhardt compositions performed by a variety of French Gypsy guitarists.

The album opens with "Anouman", a beautiful ballad from Django's late period. It is performed by Matcho Winterstein, a French Gypsy with Herve Ganguenetti on Rythym guitar and Claudius Dupont on bass. After stating the head, Winterstein goes into doubletime on the solo and swings it hard, articulating every note with the precision of an ace flying team.

Next up is Noe Reinhardt (a distant relative of Django perhaps?) doing "Dinette", Django's catchy contrafact of "Dinah". After a first rate solo by Noe, Bassist Claudius Dupont (who plays bass on all of this albums tracks) tells his story in strict time. Noe then solos some more over the rhythm guitars of Rudy Debard and Linekar Lemaire before playing the head out. Noe returns later in the album to play "Hungaria" at a blistering tempo. Bravo!

Django's Grandson David Reinhardt and another Django descendant, Levis Adel-Reinhardt play "Blues for Ike" on archtop guitars with Samy Daussat on rhythm guitar. A modern jazz feel over a flat four rhythm. David and Levis also play a lesser known Django piece entitled "Vamp" (a beautiful ballad, again performed with a modern jazz sensibility).

Gadjo (non-Gypsy) Samy Daussat then does a Latin feel version of "Nuit De Saint-German-des-pris". Samy plays both lead and rhythm on this track. Superb phrasing and tasty lines flow effortlessly from the fingers of this virtuoso. Samy's other feature track is "Are You In The Mood".

Swan Berger (a child prodigy) plays "Micro" a Django contrafact of Gershwin's "I got Rhythm" at the usual high speed with Frank Berger and Samy Daussat on rhythm guitars. Lots of notes are played solidly in the Manouche guitar tradition. Wait till Swan Berger is older. His guitar fretboard will need to be treated with fire retardant!

Mundine and Rocky Garcia do "Troublant Bolero" Mundine spells out every chord change on this beautiful composition While Rocky keeps the Gypsy Bolero rhythm propelled in perfect time. Mundine and Rocky also perform "Artillerie Lourde"

Fred de Charco plays the album's waltz "Chez Jacquet".

The last track on this CD is "Tears" performed solidly by French Gypsy Bero Landauer. This album starts and ends with a ballad, a most unusual formula that works stunningly well here.

This album is well worth the price of admission. Every piece is a timeless Django classic played by some of the best French guitarists performing Gypsy jazz today. These performances are inspired and are a joy to listen to. The variety of having 9 different lead guitarists on an album of 12 tracks is wonderful. It is Django's 100^th birthday. Buy this album for yourself as a celebration.

Jazz Partout is a Gypsy jazz ensemble from Helsinki, Finland. The have a sound that is both traditional and yet very modern as well. They have an accordionist (Mika Huusari) that contributes to their traditional sound and an archtop guitarist (Petri Krzywacki) whose modern bop lines gives the band its modern tonality. Acoustic guitarist Kimmo Iltanen plays his Selmer-Macaferri guitar fully in the Django Reinhardt tradition and bass player Matti Tegelman holds down the bottom.

The bands new CD, "L'assortiment" is indeed as its name implies, an assortment of musical material. There are 5 Django tunes ("Micro", "Hungaria", "Fleur D'ennui", "Folie a' Amphion" and "Swing 39"), two waltzes ("La valse Des Niglos" and "Brise Napolitaine"), three classic standards ("La Mer", "Undecided" and George Gershwin's "Liza"), two tunes by modern Gypsy jazz guitarists (Patrick Saussois' "Just One For Babik" and Robert Gaguenetti's "Lisa-Marie") and two Originals ("September Game" by bassist Tegelman and "August Nocturne" by guitarist Krzywacki (Don't even ask me how to pronounce his name!).

In most of the tunes there are solos by both guitars and the accordion. The band swings hard and the contrast between the sonic qualities (and phrasing) of the two guitars presents a compelling contrast. Old and new meet on the timeless playing field of la pompe. This band proves that one can be both creative and at the same time, very listenable. Bravo Jazz Partout!

Barry Wahrhaftig has been on the American Gypsy Jazz scene for quite some time. His dedication to this genre is unsurpassed. Barry's band, The Hot Club of Philadelphia (www.hotclubphilly.com) has been keeping residents of the city of brotherly love tapping their toes and snapping their fingers for several years. In addition to playing Gypsy jazz, Barry has been involved in the importation and distribution of Asian made Gypsy jazz guitars. Not only tis he a fine player of this music, Barry is an all around good guy.

Recently Barry sent me a copy of The hot Club of Philadelphia's debut CD entitled "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams". The 11 tracks on this album are easy to listen to and contain enough variety to keep any listeners attention,

The opener, "Songe d'Automne is a swinging number led by the very able clarinet playing of Bob Butryn. Barry's guitar solo is tasteful and in the pocket. Butryn can also be heard on "Exactly like You".

Barry has generously published his transcription of "La Gitane" on the web over the years and we now get a chance to hear him perform the piece (replete with accordion, adding a true Parisian feel).

On "Someone to Watch Over Me", guitar virtuoso Howard Alden plays a solo guitar accompaniment to the vocals of Denise King. Barry and Bass player Jim Stager join in to complete a sweet Gypsy jazz version of this Gershwin classic.

Barry and longtime Hot Club Philly violinist Mark Campiglia tear it up on the Gypsy jazz classic "Tchavalo Swing"

A vocal version of Django's classic "Nuages" follows with Phyllis Chapell on vocals.

"Nature Boy" features the flamenco guitar work of Carlos Rubio. This is the albums Latin selection.

Barry's guitar work is featured on "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" and Chez Jacquet" (the albums second waltz).

The title track "Wrap Your Trouble In Dreams" has vocals and a whole horn section. A Dixieland feel permeates this tasteful track.

The last track is a solo version of "While We're Young". This was recorded in the 1960's by guitar legend Wes Montgomery. Here we have Barry's take played on a Selmer style guitar.

This album emphasizes taste over chops and variety over orthodoxy. Barry's hard work and dedication to Gypsy jazz comes through on every track.

"Wrap your Troubles in Dreams" is proof positive that Django lives in the city where America was born. Bravo Barry (and crew)!

Here's what Ann Parker, of the Santa Cruz Sentinel, has to say:

"At 7 p.m. sharp, Hot Club Pacific swung into action. And I do mean swung. This tight trio of Mark Schwartz, Jack Fields and Matt Bohn -- on guitars and bass, respectively -- cranked out some of the best Django Reinhardt-style hot jazz I've heard in a long while."

The world has lost one of the greatest jazz guitarists ever.  I saw Herb Perform many times over the years. I personally spoke to him about his collaberations with Joe Pass a few years ago.  He was one of the last jazz guitarists to use 4 to the bar rhythm (Freddy Green Style as opposed to La Pompe).  His improvisations were always tasteful and grounded in the blues.

His contribution was mighty.  Perhaps he and Django are jamming as we speak....

The George Cole Quintet

Saturday May 8th

Doors 7 PM/ Show 8 PM

The Freight and Salvage

2020 Addison Street, Berkeley, CA 94704

http://www.freightandsalvage.org/

Smokin acoustic jazz ensemble the George Cole Quintet swings onto the Freight stage for an evening celebrating the centennial of the birthday of Django Reinhardt. Come hear stories of Django Reinhardt's life, interwoven with his original music and new, Django-inspired compositions. With the fiery guitar of George Cole as its centerpiece, this virtuoso Bay Area band invites you to close your eyes and be transported by their infectious Gypsy jazz groove. Joining George in the ensemble are vocalist Molly Mahoney, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Grant, Julian Smedley on violin, and Kenan O'Brien on bass guitar.

George Cole currently teaches gypsy jazz guitar at the Freight, as well as performing great original music with his gypsy, swing, and jazz band. Says Art Thompson of Guitar Player magazine, "Cole's excellent Django-style guitar work and his band's enticing instrumental and vocal harmonies make them a must-see for any fan of vintage jazz."

Django Reinhardt taught himself to play the guitar and performed in the 1930's and 1940's in Europe even though he only had the use of two fingers on his left hand due to a fire. A furious, fast paced gypsy jazz virtuoso and guitar master, he and violinist Stephane Grappelli fronted the legendary 1930s European jazz band, Quintette du Hot Club de France, the combo that revolutionized jazz by applying an irresistible, string-fueled propulsion to the more sedate big-band sound of the time.

For sale Favino 12-string #2. It was built in 1964 by Jacques Favino who made similar guitars for Henri Salvador (picture on Favino's site) and Hugues Auffray (#1) . It was restored by JP Favino in 2007 who also added a truss rod. It is in excellent condition, with rosewood back and sides and spruce top, and a 12-fret 3-piece maple neck. 652mm scale.

Some jazz artists release new albums with such frequency that it is difficult to remember the sequence of their discography. Not so with John Jorgenson. Today John released his 4^th Jazz album in 22 years. In fairness, the time between the first (After You've gone, 1988) and the second (Franco-American Swing, 2004) is largely explained by the fact that John was pretty busy in the intervening years playing with Elton John and the Hellecasters. Since 2004, John released UltraSpontane in 2007 and now One Stolen Night. These last two releases feature the John Jorgenson Quintet, probably the most successful Gypsy jazz outfit in the US (if not the world).

John HAD to do a new album. His entire band is made up of new members since the release of his last CD. In fact, one of the "new" members of the quintet has already left (Doug Martin has taken the rhythm guitar chair as Kevin Nolan has moved back to Europe).

The new album is a collection of 8 Jorgenson originals with 4 Gypsy jazz standards and 1 old time jazz tune.

The musicianship of this quintet is SUPERLATIVE! John may well be the best guitarist playing Gypsy jazz in the US. Simon Planting is probably the best bassist playing Gypsy jazz in the world. Kevin Nolan is as solid a Gypsy Jazz rhythm guitarist as they come, and Rick Reed (percussion) and Jason Anick (violin) handle their respective instruments with great aplomb.

One of the Gypsy jazz standards played is Robin Nolan's "Mediterranean Blues". Quite appropriate as the band contained two Robin Nolan trio alumni (Nolan and Planting). On "Billet Doux", "Hungaria" and "Norwegian Dance", John channels the spirit of Django with uncanny precision. The old time standard "Dr. Jazz" features John on reeds and vocals.

Of the 8 Jorgenson Originals, my favorite is " Souvenirs Des Nos Peres", a haunting composition finding John again on reeds. On "Istiqbal Solo" John plays solo guitar, evoking the sound of Django on the "Improvisations".

This album, while offering breathtaking virtuosity and some superb new compositions, breaks little new ground (John does play the Greek Bouzouki, a new instrument for US Gypsy jazz). For fans of the John Jorgenson Quintet it is indispensable. Others may find it superfluous. I have found that non-Gypsy Jazz fans like John Jorgenson better than the European masters. John's musical virtuosity and precision are second to none. John brings his other musical influences (Rock, Country etc.) to the music, which helps outsiders to this music relate, and become drawn in. They don't call John the "US Ambassador of Gypsy Jazz" for naught! John once told me that he never thought that playing Gypsy Jazz would end up being his gig. Lucky for the rest of us it has!

In Gypsy jazz (among the Gypsys, at least) it is traditional to hone your chops by starting as a rhythm player. Gadjo (non-Gypsy) Samy Daussat, a Frenchman has done this well. He has played rhythm guitar for the top players of the genre. Angelo DeBarre, Tchavalo Schmidt, Patrick Saussois, Babik Reinhardt, Raphael Fays, Moreno and David Reinhardt are among those who have been lucky enough to have been backed by this talented guitarist.

Samy was also a co-author, along with Angelo DeBarre of two method books on playing Gypsy jazz guitar.

With "La Petite Famille", Samy steps away from his role as a sideman and has arrived on the world's stage as a band leader.  The album features Samy on solo guitar (that means lead guitar for all of you American Gadjo types), David Gastine on rhythm guitar and vocals, Claudius Dupont on bass. Django's grandson, David Reinhardt is a guest on two tracks playing a blond Gibson ES-175 (This must be a family tradition as his dad, Babik Reinhardt, his uncle Louson Baumgartner and his great uncle Joseph Reinhardt all played this model guitar!).

The album is a showcase for Samy's well-honed Gypsy jazz chops and is a well-crafted debut. The album opener is the title track "La Petite Famille". It opens with a two guitar intro that breaks into swing with a modern sound in the style of Bireli Lagrene. Samy's playing uses all the modern devices; artificial harmonics, triplets, block chords etc. The second tune is another hard swinging Daussat original aptly entitled "Gypsy School". This is followed by a Latin rhythmed version of Django's beautiful ballad "Manoir De Mes Reves". Listeners will hear in the intro, that Samy shares the Gypsy respect for George Benson.There are vocal tracks with David Gastine's vocal talents being showcased. While men may be impressed by Samy's guitar virtuosity, women will be drawn to the French vocals. It is great to hear "The Good Life" a tune made famous by Frank Sinatra performed in its original French. There is even a Nat Cole tune sung in English.

The album has a variety of rhythms, much like a Robin Nolan album. This helps keep the listener's attention. On "Le Mauvais Jours" and "Clairs-Obscurs", two Daussat originals, David Reinhardt plays his archtop guitar with authority, bringing a different voice to the album. Daussat uses an archtop guitar as well as a Gypsy guitar throughout the album, also providing a variety of tonal pallets.

This is a fine addition to the modern Gypsy jazz collection. If you are a fan of the work of Bireli lagrene or Robin Nolan, you will love this debut work from this fine guitarist. If you are more of a traditionalist, you will just plain like it.  Highly reccomended.

Here's a video clip we just posted to YouTube.com of my band, Hot Club Pacific, performing at DjangoFest Northwest 2007 with Larry Coryell. In this particular clip, Howard Alden absolutely smokes on the head into Limehouse Blues and takes the first solo. Some may recognize the guitar I'm playing as one of the Dupont D-holes that Sean Penn used in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown.

In 1808, Italian Virtuoso guitarist Mauro Giuliani performed his Concerto No.1, the first modern concerto for guitar and orchestra. This raised the status of the guitar from a parlor instrument to an instrument worthy of respect of the worlds most serious (and respected) musicians. In 1939, Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo penned "Concerto de Aranjuez" the most famous guitar concerto to date. The nylon string classical guitar (Torres guitar) has been elevated to the status of a serious instrument as a result of these seminal compostions.

The Selmer-Macaferri guitar has been seen as an anachronism in the modern guitar world. Most "serious" musicians ( respected jazz and classical authorities) usually classify the Selmac guitar as an unusual instrument used by Django Reinhardt and his modern imitators.

John Jorgenson has changed that with his new release "Istiqbal Gathering". This is a collaboration between John and Orchestra Nashville. This work is the culmination of 7 years of work between John and Orchestra Nashville's conductor, Paul Gambill.  This album has four pieces. The first is Concerto Glasso, a 3 part concerto for the Selmac with Orchestra written by John.  Make no mistake about it, this ain't "Minor Swing" redone. This is modern Classical music that uses many idiomatic Gypsy guitar elements (one of the parts is in 3/4 time, evoking the traditional "Gypsy Waltz"). The Selmac guitar can finally take its place among its brethern (the Classical guitar) as a serious insrument worthy of the world's attention. Bravo John Jorgenson!

There are three other pieces on the album. "Dieter's Lounge" a Jorgenson piece performed with the Turtle Island Quartet, "Groove in the Louvre" another piece done with the Turtle Island Quartet penned by David Balakrishnan, the founder of the Turtle Island Quartet and the title track, "Istiqbal gethering" another Jorgenson composition that feaures a Cimbalom and violin in addition to the Selmac guitar.

John Jorgenson is one of the world's great guitarists (in any genre) and his Gypsy Jazz chops are up there with the best of them. His virtuosity is amply presented in this work. All fans of great music, especially those with an interest in Gypsy Jazz should check out this work. Most Gypsy jazz recycles that which has previously been done.  This album breaks new ground. John dedicated this work to his father, but in some respects, this is a symphony to Django Reinhardt. This album is highly recommended.

"Celebrating Django Reinhardt's 100th birthday and centennial year: two romantic gypsy music inspired, genre-busting bands come together for the first time in San Francisco"

Two acoustic gypsy music groups, masters of guitar and violin, "The George Cole Quintet" and "Fishtank Ensemble" perform together for the first time in San Francisco at Noe Valley Ministries on Saturday, March 6th at 8:15 pm. The two bands decided to come to San Francisco and perform together to celebrate Django Reinhardt in his centennial year and the influence of his fast gypsy music on their melodies and rhythms. The fusion of gypsy, jazz, swing and pop music for both bands create genre-busting unique sounds that are unlike any other bands. Most of the music for the evening is original music but will also include some of Django's famous tunes. Fishtank Ensemble creates cross-pollinated gypsy music that include Romanian, Gypsy jazz, Flamenco, Balkan, Turkish and Tango influences. George Cole combines tunes reminiscent of The Great American Songbook, Hot Jazz, and European Gypsy sounds. 

The acoustic music includes opera, jazz and gypsy vocals, musical saw, flamenco and gypsy guitar, violin, upright bass, percussion, and banjolele in different combinations on stage. These bands are known for their speed on the  guitar and are a direct homage to Django Reinhardt who created a new way of playing in the 1930's and 1940's in Europe. Django Reinhardt taught himself to play the guitar and performed even though he only had the use of two fingers on his left hand due to a fire. Django was a virtuoso on the guitar and a composer who combined speed, melody, rhythm and precision. Django has inspired many guitarists to cover his songs and play guitar in the fashion that he conceived, fans and disciples include Jeff Beck, Charlie Christian and Les Paul.

The George Cole Quintet and Fishtank Ensemble chose to celebrate his music as part of a music series at San Francisco's Noe Valley Ministry which is a 110 year old Victorian Church in the Noe Valley Area that has the acoustics and setting that are perfect for the occasion. George Cole has been a guitar educator, historian, collector, and performer for more than 20 years. He's toured with Joe Walsh of the Eagles, Beatnik Beatch, Big Blue Hearts, Warren Zevon, Buster Poindexter, and Keely Smith. Fishtank Ensemble from Sacramento has been touring all over California and nationally since 2005.
