Brilliant Guitar Work

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This is a great album of great guitar playing in the Django mold. Jorgenson blazes on some of the tracks, his tremendous skill level on full display. If you like Gypsy Jazz, or just appreciate great guitar playing and musicianship, then by all means, buy this album, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Gypsy Jazz

Review Comments: I wish there were more cds like this one. I absolutely loved Ultraspontane, and you have any love for guitar or are just a music enthusiast, you'll love it too. I've yet to find one person who doesn't enjoy listening to this fast-paced album.

My First (but not last) John Jorgenson miracle

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I heard John Jorgenson interviewed on NPR a few weeks back. The clips appealed to me, so I bought the album. Wow -- I just can't stop listening to it. Loud!

If you like Gipsy Kings (I do), you'll probably also like this, but it's really quite different in a number of ways. For one, it's not so clearly and uniformly gypsy music -- there are certainly a lot of references, and many strong, driving rhythms and phrases that make it clear that the roots here are strong. But then, a piece called Lucky Sevens comes in with a pretty amazing clarinet lead that would make Benny Goodman proud. And several other pieces that reminded me more of Bela Fleck's bluegrass stuff. And while clearly not improvised, this music seems as untethered and liberated to go in whatever direction is right as Keith Jarret.

In short, this album has quickly ascended to a place in my library that is reserved for a few true heroes of modern music. Plus, it's just a blast, and great for parties.
