Bireli Lagrene - Django's Tiger

[@tylerg3393]

I honestly think this is the most genius gypsy jazz solo ever recorded

[@colinpadley1897]

I think the most genius guitar player period.

i just love how he manages to be playful without disrespecting the tune

Just ridiculous! I really think he just gets better and better every time I see him perform -- the wit, the relaxation with the form, the harmonic and rhythmic sophistication...superb! Thanks for getting him in the studio, Denis!

[@alexkhine9503]

His rythmic is just awsome....we can see thats also a master as bass player,...

The man is a genius. Fantastic sense of humour too. Love it.

Bireli makes the most complex technical / melodic / harmonic and rhythmic combinations sound like he's just having his breakfast

[@alphacentauri8083]

So many ideas and concepts, and he makes them all flow so smoothly.....

[@Timliu92]

This guy swings real hard - one of the best players I have ever seen. Not to mention his playing is harmonically very sophisticated as well 🔥🔥😎😎👍👍

[@AlexBunardzic]

This is the next level. No one plays like this!

[@enzolo2420]

maybe even the last level. :)

[@axeman2638]

check out Joscho Stefan. and them together.

[@georgefromjungle5211]

@@axeman2638 Joscho is good, but not this good. He plays more cleanly, but his improvisation is far less sophisticated.

[@axeman2638]

@@georgefromjungle5211 remember birelli is a fair bit older than joscho, and has matured a lot in recent years himself.

[@axeman2638]

@@DaEskahuit I actually like that he's not afraid to enjoy himself and show off a bit, there is far too much seriousness in music these days, particularly in jazz.

[@21Million]

I especially like the second half of the song. Great stuff, worthy of watching over and over again. Thanks Bireli for visiting Denis!

[@paulgibby6932]

0:55 wow, what a harmonic chord! Never heard that one before. And the guitar just keeps ringing. Amazing ax. I think it's 9th fret on A and D strings and 12th on G string, which sounds C#-F#-G

[@mattfoley6082]

That's a Jaco trademark chord. Jaco usually played it as Eb7#9.

[@nietzschesmustache9779]

I could watch this guy all day long.🍻

[@xetexuk12]

wonderful tune, brilliantly played ..

[@nietzschesmustache9779]

I learned about this man through my ears. I had a jazz guitar station on one day cleaning the house. The other guitar people were good but the feel was not like this. I ran to the phone to understand who was playing and I have to admit I thought it was Django. I dont think either of these guys were or are guitarists. They are music people who can fill your life with joy. Its not how fast you are its all the nuances. Now Im quite young in these standards but I hope that people can hear the difference between a guitarist and a master of melody and music.

[@dogukansezgin4417]

Lots of arpeggio\triad superimpositions. Django often did that too right ? Did django knew about diatonic arpeggios\triads or did he use shapes around chords ? He was playing with Grapelli so i assume he knew his diatonic triads and how to use them.

[@inq752]

+Doğukan Sezgin Django did nto even know how to read or write, he based his playing purely on his ear.

[@dogukansezgin4417]

Good point. Reading and writing is important. Thnks mate. Made me re-think about it.

[@erichnussbaum]

Django did not play what he "knew", he played what he heard. Like todays Gypsy-Guitarists, most of them don't "know" music by theory, they ARE music.

[@afxmnstr]
