tobias064 ::: Favorites "...In 1939, jazz critic Leonard Feather visited Paris. He returned to America raving about his new "discovery" and stated, "Aleman has more swing than any other guitarist on the continent..." (this means Django) "...Oscar Alemán, an amazing Argentine guitarist who, according to jazz critic Leonard Feather, could "outswing Django Reinhardt," his friend and peer..." who is the best? This happen when we ask -Who is the best?- alltime...apears a new guy!!!! Search for Oscar Aleman 07-10-20 20:21:35 __________________________________________________
Sunderlanding ::: Favorites Without any sense of melody? Are you on crack? He never misses the melody thats what makes it so cool. He keeps the theme going through all that crazy shit. And unfortunately music is about playing fast, and playing scales over scales, and playing slow and playing melodically and anything else you want to cram in there. Anyone who doesn't realize the importance of speed is truly ignorant. 07-10-20 20:14:12 __________________________________________________
DG320 ::: Favorites oh yeah, did i mention he can play fast too ;-) 07-10-19 03:05:50 __________________________________________________
DG320 ::: Favorites don't think he's just a speed freak. i've heen to several of his gigs (also non gypsy-jazz) and he keeps amazing me. last week with a jazz combo (in an old farm!?) on electic (benson,standards,etc). Few match his versatility and musical taste 07-10-19 02:58:21 __________________________________________________
karnamaq ::: Favorites I add that some comments here show not only a lack of taste but simply a lack of musical culture. Music is not about playing fast, let alone playing scales over scales withou any sense of melody. I don't want to bash Jo-show, because he seems to be a true nice guy, a gentleman (and an impressive guitar player) but those who compare him to Django are plain ignorant. 07-10-18 03:53:47 __________________________________________________
karnamaq ::: Favorites I totally agree with you as well as with Bachelorno3: "But do you really think Django, would want to play like Joscho?" Indeed, Joscho'virtuosity impresses me, however 1. there are a lot of virtuose players in gypsy jazz (Bireli Lagrène is IMO the greatest, but also Stochelo, Jimmy Rosenberg ...etc.) 2. there are a few true "musicians" (Bierli is one of them, Joscho clearly is not) ... and Django was the Master, a virtuose, a musician and a great composer. So there is nothing to compare. 07-10-18 03:43:45 __________________________________________________
bluesman1981 ::: Favorites joscho is talented, but come on he still doesn't compare to the original, and by that i mean django. django was truly in a class all his own. and to even compare these two is just absurd. 07-10-14 00:37:46 __________________________________________________
Bachelorno3 ::: Favorites dude, you can knock my writing ability all you want. If Django would have been on the verge of shredding if he played with all of his fingers, how come he never did? There are recording of him before his accident. Django knew how to play fast, and would often entice his listeners with an impressive phrase here and there to show his dexterity. But do you really think Django, would want to play like Joscho? 07-10-10 12:51:06 __________________________________________________
jacquillo ::: Favorites beautiful ! 07-10-10 06:13:36 __________________________________________________
Sunderlanding ::: Favorites "Equally more tasteful" Not sure what that means. Anyway, Django was on the verge of shredding at every performance as well. He just couldn't do it as well because he only had two working fingers. If he could play like this he would have. Joscho is what Django should have been. 07-10-09 16:10:53 __________________________________________________
