Wow!!! :shock: Angelo's best work to date, by far!! The Waltz La Manouche is just outrageous!!

This is one of those "must have" / desert island" discs, it is a bit on the short side but it equals or surpasses his seminal "Gypsy Guitars"
Another recent Angelo disc which in my opinion is a little overlooked is "Paroles de Swing" with the master Ludovic Beier on accordeon with beautiful renditions of "Sous le ciel de Paris" and "A Bicyclette"
For me Bireli and Angelo are the pinnacle in Gypsy Jazz, melodic improvisation at its best. Angelo seems sometimes to get a bad rap for his speed but having transcribed a lot of his material I find his lines are always clear, concise and full of ideas, there is absolutely no "noodlin" in his playing although the sheer speed makes it sometimes difficult to fully appreciate
kind regards

I just picked this up recently and I have to agree, this CD is freakin' awesome!

Angelo's playing is amazing without saying but also from a compositional standpoint as well this is a great CD. Like Michael said the Valse Manouche is insane but there are other tracks where his playing is quite simple and the melody is king. The last track he tears it up on electric and it sounds great! You'll find fast and medium tempo swing, latin rhythms, valses and ballads on here. It's got a bit of everything!

I've been spinning this one for the past few weeks. Love it.

The new version of Entre Amis is killer. Thanks for leaving out the rain stick this time, Angelo!

Manege is my personal favorite of this album, but its great all around.

AND.....forgive me if you know this already but if you let the last track play on about 30 seconds after the actual tune ends you get a little recorded thank you from Angelo himself, in French, but at least you get to - finally - hear him speak
