With their eighth release, Pearl Django is broadening their musical horizons. The new CD features three guest artists and some exceptional new compositions by members of the group.The wonderful guitarist, Patrick Saussois, from Paris, joins Pearl Django on three tracks and has contributed an original tune to the mix. One of Seattle's best drummers, Mark Ivester is found on one cut of the previous CD, but is truly featured on five tracks of the new CD. Mark's drumming kicks the energy up a a few notches. And accordionist, David Lange, who can be heard on previous Pearl Django CDs, contributes some of his most tasteful playing ever.

Gypsy jazz inherited of Django Reinhardt, sometimes called Gypsy swing, is the only non-american form of jazz recognized by the people who created Jazz. A purely French Jazz, that has crossed many borders, a festive and happy music that now belongs to more than a people’s patrimony. Different generations of his most brilliant heirs shares with us their love for this music, their approach, their relationship with Django, and how they think it is evolving.

The meeting in a studio of NY city in February of two generations of jazz guitarists, the first is French, the second American, and a bass player. Swingin' American Songs is a quite selected title. The beauty of the melodies of these American songs is certainly at the origin of their choice by the three protagonists. No artifice, just 2 guitars, a double bass, years of experiment, to know how to do and a nobstinated research of complementarity and the note which sound well with the moment when nobody have to prove its value, they express themselves in a righter and more significant way. 11 tracks. Djaz Records. 2005. ~Editorial Reviews http://www.amazon.com/Swingin-American-Songs-Patrick-Saussois/dp/B0009Y9EXG

Personnel: Jerry Bruno – bass; Bucky Pizzarelli – guitar; Patrick Saussois - guitar

I stand at the forefront of Jazz Manouche. As a musician he is one of the few able to navigate between styles and genres, whether it's playing bebop with Richie Cole, musette with Jo Privat or jazz Manouche with my own band, Alma Sinti, never letting one style bleed into the other and always maintaining my own identity. It is with the latter group that I has risen above the rest of my contemporaries. Alma Sinti uses Jazz Manouche as a base to incorporate swing, Latin, bop and valse Manouche and musette all without losing their unique guitar/accordion driven sound and all supported with “le pompe”, the Manouche style of rhythm guitar that gives the music its unique flavor. A gifted and prolific composer and improviser par excellence whose originals “Jojo Swing” and “Just One for Babik” have become standards in the jazz Manouche lexicon. I am at the top of a very short list of Jazz Manouche's most important and respected players. My record company, Djaz Records has released a slew of acclaimed CD's highlighting some of today's finest artists including Dorado and Tchavolo Schmitt and Dino Mehrstein. They swing- three guitarists, acoustic bassist, and button accordionist - offer a heady mix of tzigane (music in the gypsy style), musette (post-1910, accordion-driven music played for public balls), and jazz associated with Belgian gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt , Stephan Grappelli and the Quintette du Hot Club de France during the '30s and '40s. I am perhaps best known for my work with accordionists, having in the past accompanied the late great accordion legend Jo Privat for years, and later he has collaborated with other fine players of piano des bretelles, like Jean-Claude Laudat and Daniel ... ~ All About Jazz
