Videotaped “live” in October of 2014, the leading gypsy jazz guitarist  demonstates the immense range of his repertory, covering a variety of selections. His two brothers offer excellent support and there are many video closeups of his amazing and voluptous phrasing. He hear some Django Reinhardt standards, some Latin American, some pop songs, jazz of the swing and gypsy sort, and a variety of other tunes.

The small audience is shown in the pans at the end of many of the tunes. Good quality video thruout. And the tunes are all identified on the screen at the beginning of the tunes.
