Acoustic quartet intégrale volume 7

Description

Romane is a leading figure among those who, at the turn of the 2000s, marked with a red line the revival of gypsy jazz. His discography has played a major role in the evolution of this music, and his compositions have become classics of the genre. On Acoustic Quartet, Romane is royally served by the brothers Yayo and Fanto Reinhardt, who provide a metronomic pump, and by Pascal Berne on double bass, whose sense of swing is beyond words. The guitarist has free rein to apply his virtuoso touch and his sense of melody, and once again proves that, under Django’s benevolent eye, six-string jazz still has a bright future ahead of it. Augustin BONDOUX “Album after album, Romane demonstrates the vitality of a music, a spirit, that some believe should be conjugated in the past tense.” Romain GROSMAN - Vibrations Publisher of the reference complete discography of Django Reinhardt (40 CDs, 760 pages of booklets), Frémeaux & Associés is today one of the leading independent producers of gypsy jazz. This music, as generous and accessible as it is learned and technical, demonstrates the cultural and musicological richness of the contribution of gypsy music to Western culture. Romane is one of its most eminent representatives, and his compositions have become true standards. Frémeaux & Associés celebrates the guitarist’s work by gathering together his entire recording career, in order to make it available again to the public in a Complete Collection, of which Acoustic Quartet is the seventh volume. 8-page booklet
