I'm wondering if anyone here has heard of the Rosenberg trio? I've been given a tape of sensational Django-style guitar playing featuring Stokolo Rosenberg which includes a lot of Rheinhardt's trade-mark songs; Nuages,Minor swing,Sweet Georgia Brown etc. This is a live concert recording entitled Gypsy Swing and, if anything, this guy's even better than Django! There, I've said it! I've been trying to capture a tiny bit of Django's "feel" on the few occassions I play jazz but the goalposts have just moved! Got to go now 'cos the fire's getting low and I need to throw on another guitar! |

From: GUEST,CraigS Good stuff - but you could try the Argentinian Oscar Alemann (who was contemporary with Django in Paris), Birelli Lagrene, or Fapy Lafertin, to name just a few. Django may be dead but his style lives on. You might also like to listen to the duets of Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang, or Joe Venuti's Blue Four, which is where the whole style originated. |
