This man is on a different level. Truly a savant of the guitar. No matter how much you practice. You will never reach his level. He has a God given gift and he's always playing. Very few if any will get to this level of guitar playing

c'est quelque chose d'étonnant d'entendre une telle improvisation... oui ça me va droit au cœur

He has so many great lines, he never regurgitates the same old stuff every solo, unlike some I could mention. Ridiculously good.

Bireli, a master of improvisation, period.

O maior guitarrista do mundo virtuosicimo

a great gypsy jazz player and a great straight ahead jazz player. I've never seen anybody this good at both. And he used to tour with a country and western band in the states many years ago. They used to introduce him as Billy Joe Green.

his playing is really sloppy, takes lots of risks and fall, show-off playing. has a good head for music, brilliant, but his playing is choppy. John McLaughlin does similar, like he is chopping through a jungle with a machete. But mcLaughlin has written some good works as a music writer.

I'm surprised someone thinks Bireli is sloppy. He's one of the world's very best !!! How good is Snoo Lee?

I remember being in the big tent, not so far from the stage. I think he came on stage and said in a very shy way"Hello, my name is Birelli lagrène, and he started playing. That day I understood a lot more about jazz guitar, and especially that you don't have to play always fast to make it swing. He was excellent at playing the medium tempo heads...Just because he has an electric guitarist technique as well.

Birelì is one of those rare people with such a talent and a creatrive soul that defies time.

Anyone who steps out on to the stage and gives their all should be respected. With the ability, professionalism, & mastery that Bireli Lagrene has achieved, what can you really say other than, Way to go, great job, WOW!!! Things you would never say. I think you missed that third note.

It's hard to believe he is self taught 'cause his father and mother were guitarrists. But I do think he's ear taught, that is, he doesn't read notes at all. I'm not very sure. Lets search for that info.

C'est ce disque qui a transformé un jeune rockeur en fou de jazz !

One of my fave..Sooo amazing..Love love love

This concert was absolute magic: Birelli wasn't famour at the time and looked very shy that day. After a song or two(probably these two), he introduced the musicians and said in a very shy manner "and my name is Birelli lagrène". Seems he didn't have an amp on stage and played straight into the PA, so his sound was excellent on heads and a bit sloppy on fast runs. A magical time

@Reinhold Binder I first heard Joe Pass in 1971 and he was one of my four core jazz guitarist that influenced me to play jazz guitar after previously playing rock guitar for 10 years. My original four core jazz guitarists were: Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, John McLaughlin, and Larry Coryell. I met and almost played with Larry. A great guy! Shortly thereafter, he passed. Since then, George Benson, Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, John Stowell, Jess Van Ruller, Szymon Mika, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Misha Mendelenko, Mike Moreno, Lage Lund, Jonathan Kreisberg, Nelson Veras, and Gilad Hekselman have been my major inspirations.

Rather you like this or not, it should be respected that anyone who can devote this much of their life to master an instrument is amazing. The discipline and passion alone it takes to stick with anything let alone the talent is a gift. This should not be criticized. It's not for everyone, but for those that understand what it takes to play at this level appreciate the dedication and hours and hours of sacrafice. And in the real world, this guy plays his ass off.

absolutely FANTASTIC wowwwwwww

thank you so much! Bireli is the best!

Blows my mind!

Just Nuages is enough to blow my mind up. OMG he's a f*** monster! Unbelievable!

B is one of the world's best natural musicians..no doubt!

Oh for anyone who never heard him play your in for a treat he makes this guitar “sang” like so many other great players out there just know there’s so many and he is definitely one of them just to mention. Venture out yourself and see and then listen to them and for them. Because there’s a lot out here.👍🏿

He is Amazing.

Been seriously practicing for 30 years here. I'm lucky if I reach 20 % of his genius.

Este loco es genial , por algo se entendia tan bien con Jaco ,otro loco . creo que es el mejor y no he podido parar de oirlo en dias

Stupendo , si può dire solo una cosa . GRANDISSIMO !!!!

Vraiment le meilleur après Django bravo de la part d'un vieux guitariste de 9o ans qui à bien connu s Grappelli

Great, as always!

ça prendra jamais une seul ride , ils écrivent l'histoire du swing .

Yamaha AE-1200s!!! Great BIRELI!

Yeah, I like it. Will never play this fast but I like the whole package, you guys.

Extraordinairy.

Impresionante. Bireli esta fuera de cualquier tipo de rango o medida. Fuera de serie.

What freaking ARTISTRY!

M. Moreira J'ai ce disque depuis des années ne se lasse pas de m'écouter. Je vous félicite pour mettre ces vidéos, ce fut une agréable surprise pour moi. La polyvalence de Bireli est vraiment impressionnant. Je voudrais demander, si possible, d'afficher aussi «I Got Rhythm», est mon préféré sur ce disque. Bonne chance et prospérité ...

If I were to guess, I would say that this man has mastered the fretboard.

Natural Genius!

absurdamente bom

fantastic

This is a fantastic version of Nuages. Django Reinhard was a Genius.

a great Jazz guitarist

My goodness how in the hell can someone get this good? Ridculous. I use to think there was no one on George Benson's level boy I was WRONG Benson might have trouble keeping up with this guy. He matches Benson in everything, what a talent he is. Diffinately a different cat.

@@boreed5734 I know guy. The fact that people are aware of Birelli and George means they have an understanding of what a world class player is.

Seeing him play an archtop, I immediately think of Joe Pass. Pass must have met Bireli. I wonder what they thought of each other's playing. I'm certain Pass is among Bireli's influences - but what did Pass make of Bireli's incredible genius and virtuosity!? I hope they met each other, spoke with each other and maybe even played together.

great info about gypsy vintage history on gypsyguitarfans

@highlandbrian I was sitting there and believe me, apart from that solo part, the concert was excellent, and definitely not flooded with fast scales... His slow playing was absolutely heartfelt and really did swing!

Wow

BIRELI ! GEORGE BENSON AND PAT MARTINO MUST BE WELL PLEASE WITH YOU. 'DONNA LEE' IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAY ON THE GUITAR AND YOU PLAYED IT WITH SUCH EASE. I AM AMAZED, WOW!

Nuages. Aouch : merci !!

Monster player.

first time I heard him was at this concert, circa 93 or 95

It´s so fucking beautiful!

BIRELI IS HUMAN ????? GODDDDDDDDDD !!

BRO that bass player!! Amazing, AMAZING. the upright solo on donna lee... i mean.. what the FUCK!

How do people dislike this?!?!?

Thats a very articulate reply!

The lick from 1:09 to 1:11 seemed to contain about 400 notes. What a lick.

Nuages (D. Reinhardt) and Donna Lee (C. Parker). That's all.
