I've been playing guitar for over 55 years and people are very kind and say what a good player I am but the truth is I'm only good enough to understand how mediocre I am compared to an absolute genius like Jimmy is, he's on another planet from the rest of us.

Weergaloos mooi spel en talent welke natuurlijk welkom is in Buitenplaats de Blauwe Meije

very funny

now he lost again

where can you find the whole footage of him and his father playing? it's beautiful

Genius can be hard on a fella...

I had the honor to play with him at a gig in jail(Grave)a few years ago. It was awesome and a real experience. Thanks Jimmy and all the best! Greetz Roy

@Jigov Zigeuner (spelled like that) is Dutch word. But I get your point, this guy probably wasn't referring to the Dutch word in specific. My bad!

Improvising or not: Love to see this guy play. What the @#$ is he doing today anyway? Any gigs coming up? Or does he have a fall-back? (hope not)...

@thebookofjoy He says " there are only a few in the current generation of gipsy musicians" and from that you infer he is talking about classical music. Hey, nice one buddy.

@thebookofjoy Seems to me like he meant that only a few people in the world can improvise, and not just play set pieces (which is totally true). Then he says that there might be only two-three people in the world like Birelli Lagrene and Jimmy Rosenberg, which is more of a relative subjective statement :P So not _that_ bad of a comment imo.

wow !! magnific

I meant No disrespect to the Gypsy guitar players. Django has influenced the greats. The Rosenbergs are unbelievable. Bireli Lagrene is my favorite. Etc. I just think the comment that gypsy guitar players do not need teachers is a bit off.

Hey jayz551- You said gypeis or gypsies do not need teachers. Then why did Bireli Lagrene study under Larry Coryell for so long? And try using a period in your sentences.

I wish I could play like that.

@VMGIAN: You're all talk and no action. If you can't afford a camera, or even a microphone, then I'm amazed you have a computer that you use for disrespecting professional musicians. Put up some proof, or go fuck yourself (or any family member). We don't need your crap on KZbin.

@jayz551: My point was that you _aren't_ all thieves or criminals. In the same way, you aren't "born" with the music in your blood. These are cultural adaptations, and in the case of these three "rumours", all nonsense.

check out myvid with jimmy rosenberg and myself were playing a dutch song michel by anouk beautiful played his solo mine not so good but tonight gonna do it over:xD:

If you're natural born musicians, then I guess you're natural born thieves and criminals too? It's downright racist to say you're better than everyone else at the guitar just because you're of a specific ethnicity.

I'll see you in my dreams.

Wasentjimmy playing a django improv at the beginning.

I'll See You In My Dreams

head for the trailercamps around major city and ask a random gypsy

has anybody see the jimmy Rosenberg DVD that is being sold everywhere .....Jimmy Rosenberg: The Father, the Son & the Talent.....is this a official release and has anybody bought it and would like to tell us if it is worth buying.....

he knows the style well... hes limited to improvising in that style thats all...

got this dvd its great its something that evry gipsyjazz lover has to have!!!!!

is the beginning him right when he's getting out of prison?

Prachtig jimmy :) Heel europa wacht op je man, maak er gebruik van.

Try Joscho Stephan. Jimmy can play unbelievable stuff, but Joscho made me doubt the laws of physics and cry with emotion at the same time.

Hurray For Jimmmy. My Sinti heart is overjoyed.

why couldnt we keep in memory that jimmy is one of the most talented gipsy jazz player of his generation,..in my opinion I learned more in leastening his music than in other sides of his life.And who are we to judge him?,... thanks jimmy

an extraordinary virtuoso .. but not only - there is charisma in his play ....

I just discovered him. will have to learn more!

indrukwekkend..

the greatest living guitarist for sure!

There are 2 different stories, of which I'm not certain which one to believe: the first, there was some drugs involved. Second, he attacked someone in a bar.

geweldige speler!

Wonderkind!!! Jimmy, 'k kende je muziek niet, totdat ik de docu zag. Indrukwekkend. Wens je veel sterkte. Hoop dat je de kracht vindt om de drugs ter zijde te schuiven. Met zo'n talent heb je die shit helemaal niet nodig!

Wat een prachtvent!

Improvisation nr.1 Kijk op Jimmy's website (zie adres in de omschrijving "About this video") Daar is het nummer te downloaden.

weet iemand missch hoe dat nummer heet die ie speelt op die parkeerplaats.. kweet dat ie van django is, maar de naam..??

Go Jimmy, God has already forgiven you by not taking away your amazing talent! Keep up the good work!

Wat Jimmy betreft hoop ik dat hij snel zijn leven kan leven zoals hij het zelf graag wil. Wat deze jongen in zijn korte leven al heeft meegemaakt zullen velen niet meemaken al worden ze 150 jaar oud. Ik bewonder hem dat hij ervoor vecht om zijn leven weer op de rit te krijgen. Een hobbelige weg maar zolang hij er zelf voor kiest om de donkere zijwegen links te laten liggen komt het goed! Je doet het goed, Jimmy! Hou vol!

Ben je me trouw gebleven?

Tussen man en vrouw, mijn lief, horen geen geheimen te bestaan! gelukkig ben ik niet het type dat zich interesseerd voor de details. Als het goed gaat met hem dan gaat het goed met hem. Da's genoeg informatie. Je aanbidder gaat werken nu.

Yesssssss.... we hbben verkering! Jim the Roseman in Amsterdam. Voor de muziekale cultuur en mogelijkheden waarschijnlijk de beste plaats van Nederland. Voor de verleidingen de slechtste. Zei Ocscar Wilde niet al "I can resist everything, except temptation"

Jimmy, Top man! Wat kun jij prachtig spelen. Een meester! Ik heb de documantaire op tv gezien. Jimmy je bent een mooi mens met een bijzonder talent! Iets waar jij trots op mag zijn. Vol houden man!

Jamaimaa of iedereen die het weten kan .... Hoe gaat het met Jimmy ? Gaat hij weer optreden ? Gr .Simon

Ooit..... als ik later groot ben, trouw ik een vrouw die Jamaimaa heet!

Ik had best van Rosenberg trio gehoord enzo ..dacht ach dat is allemaal beetje Gypsy kings muziek enzo. Zag van de week de documentaire van dit geweldige mens . wat een gigant op de gitaar ,Ik heb sinds een paar dagen een nieuwe verzamel woede .. Jimmy Rosenberg ........
