  • Composed by Dizzy Gilespie and arranged for classical guitar by Roland Dyens.
    From Roland Dyens' new DVD-album "Anyway".
    I advise you to buy this new album. In there, Roland Dyens talks about himself and about classical guitar and you should not miss it.

    How could I not have heard of him until now?! I just discovered him by seeing an (arr by Roland Dyens) credit from Erik Satie. I might have died incomplete if not having stumbled upon this gem of a musician! Life is too short to find all the gems of life.

    Roland was a true composer, trying different genres of music as well as hammer ons, pull offs, chord harmonics and drumming.! R.I.P. Roland.

    There was no one like Roland. His guitar playing was his alone and it seemed like only he could play his compositions and arrangements in the spirit that he did it.

      In the end about 4:23 you can clearly hear how he impressed his struggle into the very fast and hard guitarplay. I directly heard how much he suffered and knew it might be his last show, cause his heart was to kind and to big to carry.

    My father studied with Roland Dyens at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique. They both studied under, Albert Ponce, and I had the pleasure of meeting Roland many times in my life. He would call me "joufflu" because I was always a bit rotund. What I wish people knew about him is that he was a very funny man, and he loved to joke around! The last time I saw him in person was after he finished "Sor & Giuliani", and my family visited him at the Conservatoire where my dad once learned. Roland became the teacher there taking the position of Maestro Ponce, deservedly. I kind of knew that it was going to be the last time I would see him, due to raising my young family and not wanting to travel too much. His last words to me were, "I'm glad that you did not want to play the guitar like your father and me, because it gets tiring to do this as you get older (touring/travel). Suerte, joufflu!". . .in reality none of this happened, but thank you for reading my story! I hope I brought a smile to your face today!

      Très "habile", très virtuose, de belles trouvailles pour arriver à mettre "tout en un" : l’inaccessible quête ! ... Je pense que Roland est un des rares à tenter ces choses plutôt casse gueule et que ce genre de "challenge" le motive !!!
      Pour moi, j'ai du mal à me détacher de la pulsation d'origine ... c'est intéressant mais c'est pas "JAZZ" et je pense que d'ailleurs c'est pas son but, tout en restant une belle "démonstration" de l'impossible à la guitare "classique" ...
