Here is a clip of the amazing German Gypsy Wawau Adler. In addition to his mastery of the traditional Django based Gypsy style, Wawau has assimilated bebop style phrases and repertoire from the likes of Wes Montgomery and George Benson. His playing is particularly interesting in that he plays these modern ideas using what appears to be the traditional Gypsy Picking technique.

For more Wawau Adler check out his CDs: Back to the Roots, Back to the Roots Vol.2
