Guitarist Bireli Lagrene spent his teenage years sounding very close in style to Django Reinhardt.
For this German import, his second recording, the 14-year old romps in Djangoish fashion on such tunes as "Djangology," "Lady Be Good" and "Nuages" but also was starting to show some individuality on his own originals.
Most of the selections are performed with one or two rhythm guitarists and a bassist, all Europeans.
Lagrene has since grown as a player; if only he had had the opportunity this early to record with violinist Stephane Grappelli before his own style changed.
