Anders Grop, Bernd Huber, Janko Lauenberger, Alexey Krupsky. Gypsy Django Jazz. (live). /digi-pack/

Strictly speaking, "Gypsy Django Jazz" is a sort of a mini-festival devoted to the memory and work by Django Reinhardt. Oleksiy Krupsky became the ideological inspirer of its realization – a young but already successful jazz guitarist. Once Ukrainian, now – European. It is exactly due to the latter circumstance that the festival took place at all, plus at participation of far not minor musicians – and it seems to have been the first festival of jazz manouche in Kyiv. Well, and now a disc with the concert recording is released – and even those can get involved into this holiday who now hear about "Gypsy Django Jazz" for the first time. And it is worth involving – well, at least because this is just beautiful, and light, and joyful... It is just a surprising combination of some philosophical, alienated calmness and inflammatory, bright, iridescent energy – a paradoxically cool fiesta that fills the blood not only with sun but also with silk of the moon... But nothing to say, I, for example, have never been a supporter of such music – but I listened through this album just at one go, and several times in succession. Because – well, they play coolly, that's the truth you cannot hide ))
