Our Take
Our Take
It's not every day you see a collaboration between a violin prodigy, a guitar virtuoso, and a full orchestra, but that's exactly what you get with ROBY LAKATOS / BIRELI LAGRENE / MODERN ART ORCHESTRA's tribute to Stephane & Django.
From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you know you're in for something special. Lakatos' violin playing is nothing short of jaw-dropping, weaving in and out of Lagrene's electrifying guitar solos with ease. And let's not forget the Modern Art Orchestra, whose lush arrangements add a whole new dimension to these classic Gypsy jazz tunes.
But what really sets this album apart is the sheer joy and energy that pours out of every track. Whether it's the infectious groove of "Minor Swing" or the sweeping beauty of "Nuages," there's a sense of gleeful abandon that's impossible to resist. It's like a musical carnival, with each performer vying for your attention in the best possible way.
Of course, it's not all fun and games – there's plenty of technical wizardry on display here, too. Lakatos and Lagrene's lightning-fast fingers are a sight to behold, and the orchestra's precision and power are a force to be reckoned with. It's a masterclass in musicianship, delivered with style and panache.
In the end, ROBY LAKATOS / BIRELI LAGRENE / MODERN ART ORCHESTRA's tribute to Stephane & Django is a love letter to two legends of jazz, brought to life with passion, skill, and a healthy dose of fun. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and one that's not to be missed.
