Tchavolo Schmitt • Alors¿... Voilà!

 

Tchavolo Schmitt is a Strasbourg-based guitar virtuoso, a latter-day master of the jazzy French manouche (Gypsy) swing style made famous by Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. He was born in 1954 into a family of musicians and was soon a fixture at jam sessions, bistros, and parties. He became a legendary figure but made very few recordings, despite some notable festival appearances. Here the world-famous guitarist Romane sits in, along with Philippe "Doudou" Cuillerier on second rhythm guitar, Gilles Natural on acoustic bass, Ionica Minune on accordion, and Florin Niculescu on violin, all of whom are beyond wonderful. Schmitt prefaces each riff with an indrawn hiss of breath, audibly engrossed in making his strings speak and moving deep within the improvisations of his colleagues. He's a real pro.
