Roland Dyens - A Night in Tunisia

Composed by Dizzy Gilespie and arranged for classical guitar by Roland Dyens.
From Roland Dyens' new DVD-album "Anyway".
I advise you to buy this new album. In there, Roland Dyens talks about himself and about classical guitar and you should not miss it.

How could I not have heard of him until now?! I just discovered him by seeing an (arr by Roland Dyens) credit from Erik Satie. I might have died incomplete if not having stumbled upon this gem of a musician! Life is too short to find all the gems of life.

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

Roland was a true composer, trying different genres of music as well as hammer ons, pull offs, chord harmonics and drumming.! R.I.P. Roland.

[@TaiChiBeMe]

There was no one like Roland. His guitar playing was his alone and it seemed like only he could play his compositions and arrangements in the spirit that he did it.

[@szymonantoniak1772]

I feel the same, I've yet to see some of his arrangements played as expressively and fluently as he did. Fuoco for a start.

[@sarahazaria4025]

@@szymonantoniak1772 I'd recommend elena papandreou, she worked closely with him and seems to be the only one to play truly to his vision

[@lucasergiu5995]

​@@szymonantoniak1772yea that s true but this kind of arr like a night in tunisia , no one is playing it like him or better that s why he s the best guitarist (in my opinion) rest in peace master

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

​@@szymonantoniak1772 as far as Fuoco, check KZbin for Roxane Elfaschi. She's awesome at it!!

[@phadrus]

I really enjoy Alexandra Whittingham’s performances of Tango en Skai. Super articulate and spirited.

[@ldmixer4228]

I think Roland Dyens is one of the best musicians that through one guitar to express music.

[@MrUrech]

Man thats some demented english

[@ldmixer4228]

@@MrUrech Sorry for my pool English!

[@MrUrech]

@@ldmixer4228 naw im sorry. You're a damn good man

[@Eleuthero5]

This gentleman obviously has a jazz sense of timing to go with his classical skill. It's a shame that he struggled with heart disease for all of his adult life. R.I.P. Messr Dyens.

[@Eleuthero5]

@@MrUrech Your statement is utterly meaningless. It's a relative of "it is what it is". Really? No shit. You mean something can't be what it isn't?!

[@MrUrech]

@@Eleuthero5 yea i know srry i was drunk ill delete that now

[@ElectronicHouseFlash]

In the end about 4:23 you can clearly hear how he impressed his struggle into the very fast and hard guitarplay. I directly heard how much he suffered and knew it might be his last show, cause his heart was to kind and to big to carry.

[@szymkowiakable]

I had the chance to see him playing in Grenoble for 12 years... just amazing. There was a snow storm and the heating was broken... In spite of frozen fingers, it was almost perfect and such an expressive performance!

[@einzinger1]

A friend invited me to a concert in Toronto recently where Roland performed in Yorkville to celebrate Eli Kassner's 85th birthday. It was an amazing experience. No one moved, coughed... you could hear a pin drop. He is quiet amazing. Like a fine wine, a good book, a gourmet meal. Bravo! LE

[@stan4now]

WOW! If that's what A Night In Tunisia is like, I'll go and stay forever. Roland Dyens is absolutely amazing and masterful.

[@kevinalakazam8016]

I have been listening and playing the classical guitar for a while, I heard many great guitarists. But what Roland Dyens is able to deliver in beauty and technique is just amazing. Also check out Berimbau and Nuages arranged by R Dyens as well. Bravo Roland c'est du bonheur, ma mère m'a fait écouter nuages il y a longtemps, je n'ai cessé de vous écouter depuis!

[@GinzaUSA]

He is the ultimate solo guitar player. He does not need a drummer, a base player, nor any accompanists, he can do everything on his guitar at once. 究極のソロギタリストですね。ドラマーもベーシストもいりません。 彼一人で全部やってのけます。

[@MostlyIC]

OMG, could not stop tapping my foot, and then my whole leg, through this one, HE'S GOT SWING!!!. There's more going on in this one guitar than most bands. Just amazing.

[@dianach92]

complete genius! he came to my country (paraguay) last year... he amazed me in every way possible. This man is what I call, a TRUE musician. Music from the soul

[@freesalute]

those chords!!! this is why i love the guitar

[@musicman555]

This man is a living legend! Does anyone in the world has imagination as he to do arrangements? Or to play in such a masterful and yet, original way? I doubt it. "Long Live Roland Dyens!"
