NotesThe popularity of Gipsy jazz continues to spread globally (thanks to labels like Hot Club from Norway or Djaz Records in France), resisting any bow to fashion. It's development & enrichment makes it an inescapable musical repertoire. Through a fierce respect of the traditional Gipsy Jazz style codified by Django Reinhardt, invention is still possible if you look at the variety of the instruments that tend to be involved (although guitars and violins remain the same key). As well, modern gipsy jazz repertoire embraces more influences from bossa, waltz, czarda, swing, musette This second volume brings together kingmasters from the past and growing stars, well known or still part of a narrow scene. Plurality and vitality define this selection, again realized by Francis Couvreux, a journalist who specializes in Gipsy Jazz (Trad Magazine; Gipsy Studies).
