  • Biréli Lagrène (Saverene, 4 settembre 1966) è un chitarrista francese.
    Già nel 1980 a soli tredici anni Lagrène era considerato un bambino prodigio che suonava in modo eccezionale la chitarra gipsy nella più pura tradizione di Django Reinhardt, di cui aveva imparato nota per nota moltissimi assolo. Come Django Reinhardt, Lagrène proviene da una famiglia di musicisti zingari ed ha cominciato a suonare la chitarra all'età di quattro anni.
    Verso la metà degli anni ottanta Lagrene si avvicina alla chitarra elettrica e alla musica fusion: a questo periodo risale la sua collaborazione con il bassista Jaco Pastorius (1986).
    L'inizio degli anni novanta vede Lagrène ritornare ad uno stile jazzistico più tradizionale e maturo.
    Dal 2001 Lagrène è tornato alle sue radici gipsy con la formazione del Gipsy Project.

    He never got the tuning just right but SO WHAT! He was born to play that guitar. What a master even at such a young age! He still is.

      It's actually very inspiring because I struggled with tuning my guitar since I was a kid and a teen. People love to talk about talent like you're born with it and everything comes easy with it. In reality is just sheer will and discipline put in practice every day for years and years

    A few years after this Bireli toured with Jaco Pastorius in a power trio performing electric music, classic rock, psychadelia and jazz improvisation. I saw them 2 nights in a row in a bar in Phoenix, Arizona. So Cool ! I had no idea who the guitarist was or of his Gypsy Jazz roots. Fifteen years later I bought a double CD set of a European set of this trio but still did not know anything of Bireli. I read an interview with him about 5 years ago where he talked about that phase in life and I was like: "OH" !!

      What was it like seeing Jaco play at that time? Did he have it together (so to speak)? I wonder what influence Jaco had on this "kid" at the time. Jaco was the greatest.

    I don't know what is the reaction of Bireli himself when watching this video, but for me it is such a wonderful story to see he was able to dedicate his entire life to music and to guitar, and to actually made it a lifestyle/work for himself. This is so inspiring !

Mais alors c'est fou ce que ça m'emmerde. On a l'impression qu'il fait une démo sur une gratte qu'il va vendre, et comme il est pressé, il se dépêche.
    C'est bien quand ça va vite, mais faut que ça reste agréable à écouter. Alors disons que, comme l'a dit un des commentateurs, je suis de ceux qui n'ont pas d'oreilles...

    Wow! To have to mature in front of an audience in this way. A repetoire so demanding. Like playing the twelve Caprices as an intermediate player. Django was so unique not only in talent but in circumstance. Tough shoes to fill.
    I'm glad Bireli hung in there.

      No, he’s way much more than that, with unusual versatility of playing not only gypsy jazz but straight ahead jazz and fusion at an extremely high level. He somewhat reminds me of the legendary Bola Sete, who was actually even more versatile.
