Bireli Lagrene • Live in Marciac

 

 

Review by Scott Yanow
As a young teenager, guitarist Bireli Lagrene was a remarkable soundalike of Django Reinhardt. As he neared age 20, he largely tossed away his role model and delved into fusion and rock. By the time of this 1994 concert, Live in Marciac (a trio outing with bassist Chris Minh Doky and drummer André Ceccarelli), Lagrene had returned to straight-ahead jazz but (except for an occasional hint) he no longer did Reinhardt impressions, even on "Nuages." Lagrene actually comes closer to Barney Kessel in spots, although he mostly sounds fairly original. The well-played performance includes such numbers as "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" (which is over ten-and-a-half-minutes long), "Donna Lee," "Blues Walk" and "I Got Rhythm." An excellent example of Lagrene's playing of the mid-'90s.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Cuando era un joven adolescente, el guitarrista Bireli Lagrene era un notable parecido a Django Reinhardt. Cuando se acercaba a los 20 años, abandonó su modelo a seguir y se adentró en la fusión y el rock. En este concierto de 1994, Live in Marciac (una salida en trío con el bajista Chris Minh Doky y el batería André Ceccarelli), Lagrene había vuelto al jazz directo pero (salvo alguna pista ocasional) ya no hacía impresiones de Reinhardt, ni siquiera en "Nuages". Lagrene se acerca más a Barney Kessel en las manchas, aunque en su mayoría suena bastante original. La actuación bien tocada incluye números como "Suavemente como en un amanecer" (que dura más de diez minutos y medio), "Donna Lee", "Paseo del Blues" y "Tengo ritmo". Un excelente ejemplo de la forma de tocar de Lagrene a mediados de los 90.
