Movie Reviews of Bireli Lagrene & Gipsy Project: Live in Paris
Movie Review: Astonishing Talent !
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like guitar music and, particularly if you play guitar, prepare to be amazed. I'm not going to get into one of those "world's greatest guitar player" discussions because there are so many different styles of music. At the same time, if there is a better guitarist anywhere on the planet today than Mr. Lagrene, I would be very surprised.
This terrific concert was recorded in Paris in 2004. It features Bireli Lagrene on lead guitar and (on one highlight number) bass, Franck Wolf on saxophone, Hono Winterstein on rhythm guitar and Diego Imbert on double bass. As soon as Mr. Lagrene begins the first number, it is obvious who inspired him to play his instrument--the incomparable legend of jazz guitar, Django Reinhardt. Several of the selections in this concert are a direct tribute to Django--"Nuages", "Minor Swing" and "Clair De Lune".
Mr. Lagrene plays most of these tunes on acoustic guitar, though he switches to electric occasionally. While he is a virtuoso in every sense of the word, he also gives the other musicians in the quartet a chance to shine, especially saxophonist, Franck Wolf. There is also a bonus discography and a documentary on Mr. Lagrene and his "Gipsy Project. Sound and picture quality are excellent.
I should mention that Side 1 of the DVD is in the PAL format--Side 2 in NTSC. So wherever you live, you should be able to play this disc.
When you experience a DVD that really impresses you, it's very easy in a review to go "over the top" with compliments and praise. However, with the artistry of Bireli Lagrene, superlatives are fully justified. For anyone interested in great musicianship, this disc is an essential addition to your collection. Enjoy !
