| Description: | The regular BIRELI LAGRENE ENSEMBLE does not fit, due to the missing violin, into the characteristic casting of the "Hot Club de France" featuring violin, solo guitar, two rhythm guitars and a double bass. So despite all respect for musical tradition, sound expansion is more than possible, especially since, apart from the obligatory violin, vibraphones, piano and trumpet can be added. Gaiti Lagrene plays the first rhythm guitar in the Bireli Lagrene Ensemble, and Tschirglo Loeffler the second. Jan Jankeje, on the double bass, has turned out to be a "white" specialist for Gypsy Jazz. The first piece on the "live" recorded record, which is fascinatingly made, on the two-track recorder, without technical tricks, is dedicated to Bireli and Gaiti’s father, the solo guitar player, Fiso Lagrene. The sole players are the two sons, who are also responsible for the composition and arrangement. But the title "Bireli Swing 1979" comes from Bireli Lagrene and in the Jazz standard "All of Me" Bireli even takes over a solo on the double bass. Although he is not yet an adult, Bireli has a great amount of dexterity and deftness at his disposal, even on this large instrument. It is easy to hear how effortlessly he plays his guitar, with the same facility as a sleep-walker, no wonder guests are only too pleased to be in on a number with this child prodigy. The record is a rendezvous with Schmido Kling on the violin, trumpeter Bernd Marquart from the Stuttgart scene, and Jörg Reiter on the piano. With obvious enjoyment they swing along the musical road with the Bireli Lagrene Quartet and the road leads to Django ... BIRELI LAGRENE DCD jp 1055 Routes to Django & Bireli Swing ‚81 recorded his first LP ‚Routes to Django’ in May 1980 when he was just 13 years old. It was received by the listening public with great enthusiasm. "It was hard to believe when I heard the delicate rhythm patterns and fast runs being played in this brillant and relaxed way" (Dr. Ulrich Olshausen in an article published in the ‚Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung’). After being published, ‚Routes to Django’ instantly appeared in a list of best records compiled quarterly by German critics. The German press, ranging from ‚dpa’ to the ‚Bild’, had their sensation when the jury of the ‚German Newcomer Contest’ in Würzburg elected the winners. A young gypsy turned out to be the most promising young jazz musician. Largely self-taught, he cannot read music and is only slightly bigger than his guitar. It all fit nicely into the cliché of Bireli being a child prodigy. But before getting that kind of publicity, Bireli had already built up a considerable reputation among German jazz fans as a jazz performer. He had toured jazz and folk clubs and had also done some TV appearances. He had been invited to the ‚German Jazz Festival’ in Frankfurt and was the surprise act of the Newcomer concert. Bireli received nationwide attention when he was presented on ‚Bios Bahnhof’, a German TV show and was also featured in an article published by the weekly magazine ‚Stern’ | |
