Bireli Lagrene. The One. The Best.

on TV5 Francais

[@paulfine5602]

I love how he's playing a $600 Yamaha Pacifica. A man of the people.

[@mitchie2267]

technique > gear

[@krball56]

Its not about the pedigree its about the feeling and the playability brother.

[@2xmachine]

He also sometimes plays the 400 euros one, but with a Prail on the bridge and trem bridge mods. A true man of the people indeed.

Bireli toujours aussi bon et humble.

[@theREALrobotribe]

Fantastic musicians; all of them. Really exceptional music and playing. You're my hero, Biréli!

[@johnboltonsmustache3014]

I feel I'm the only person in the United States that knows who this guy is. Django lead me here. I've never seen a better musician. It's not just because he's a great guitar player because he is but the emotion is amazing. I'm trying to get the word out🎸

[@paulfine5602]

You're not the ONLY one! You and me make two.

[@alisonCNboy]

I’m a big fan of king bireli. I’m from China btw

[@eastonpeter1242]

Agreed! And he is still ALIVE!!!

[@claudebessette7775]

Did you know that he played with the great Jaco Pastorius. It's on TH-cam

[@AlexBunardzic]

Jean Marc Robin is the greatest! Just look at that big idiotic smile on his face while he's totally enjoying himself. He can't stop smiling, that's how powerful the music is. Such a snappy drummer, perfect fit for Bireli's explosive style. A killer band, if there ever was one! Of course, Bireli is blowing everyone's mind, but let's not neglect the amazing musicianship by all the players here.

[@guitarist2752]

"Mouvement" est vraiment génial!

[@katarinacukanic3689]

Bireli and George Benson are the greatest! It's a pity they haven't played together, especially at George's prime.

[@tthielmans]

Benson-Lagrene: It's one of my dreams for a long time !!! They have in common an organic way of playing. But I wish you one day to see Bireli play with Sylvain Luc: We enter a musical universe "stratospheric"! I must admit that it is a great pride to have in France, after Reinhardt, these two sacred monsters! But I really admire, in radically different styles, for the creativity of Pat Metheny or the subtlety of Julian Lage ...

[@will7816]

they have played together

[@ChrisRHAND]

Excellent !!!

[@robertsanchez561]

Invite F. Gambale pour le solo de "mouvements" on va se régaler !

[@DrValnet]

ho yeah baby! cette version de place du tertre déchire!

[@activitesarabat-activitesr9836]

on adore

[@swedeinla]

The sax player is very Mike Brecker influenced for sure. Great player

[@boreed5734]

I wonder if he and Benson ever crossed paths. I've seen all of Benson's TH-cam videos I don't think he's ever mentioned Brieli. His jazz approach is outstanding just like Benson. Benson is rarely matched but this guy is his equal in jazz but he leaves Benson behind with his fusion, Shredding and gypsy styles. This guy is a wonder to behold.

[@will7816]

They played together actually ! I think at the international jazz day

[@boreed5734]

@@will7816 I think you right there is a short video of him playing Benson's "On Broadway" with other artists.

[@vincenzo6162]

aww man, look at the way he plays that guitar on the first number

[@brownholecharles]

musical genius... the best jazz\fusion guitarist alive, maybe best ever to date.
thanks for the great quality video :)

[@jazzerson7087]

+Human Centipede Head Segment IMO he's the most intimidating guitarist, certainly, with greater depth and improvisional ability than most. Makes us all want to throw our guitars in the dumpster haha!

[@jazzerson7087]

+James Anderson Him and Pat Martino in particular I find among the most intimidating players out there!

[@AlexBunardzic]

I can parse Bireli and Pat Martino, as scary monsters as they really are. But I cannot for the life of me parse Sylvain Luc. He may be the most advanced guitar player to ever walk among us. Talk about a riddle wrapped in mystery! How is Sylvain doing it?

[@jazzerson7087]

Yeah, I feel like that about Allan Holdsworth!

[@jazzerson7087]

Haha I checked out 2009 Concert Solo Sylvain Luc 1/2 and I believe that's Nardis he's playing, I've definitely never seen a guitarist play it quite like that!!

[@emiliodiazmusic]

geniooo...

[@SaccoBelmonte]

Bireli could assemble a metal band today and make it a huge success. He can do it all.
10:48, seems like he's about to quote the godfather but thinks, "errrm, better not"

[@bwbillwilliamsbw]

Indeed!

[@mathao70]

Bireli, t'es un ami! Ecoute Kilibunchù malgré le son midi et une distorsion des codecs son, explore le (2X7 croches) sept temps. J'aurais beaucoup aimé faire un masterclass sous ta gouverne mais la vie en a voulu autrement. Tu es pour moi l'héritier d'une diversité de maîtres dont Jaco évidement est mon favori. Je suis de Clermont Fd mais nous déplorons le manque d'école des "musiques actuelles"alors qu'on produit Jazz en tête. C'est une aberration.

[@george0t]

Reminiscent of early Benson recordings.

[@harrykuheim6107]

That's a "Real gone Cat" there Daddy-O....

[@jpcafe]

Awesome title NPjazz!! You are right, he really is the best :)

[@alphacentauri8083]

What's the name of that last song? That was so damn good, it make me physically ill. Too much. What a talent....

[@eskelton3930]

Place du Tertre.

[@Giordzzz]

yeah

[@Millo1868]

What year is this from? Just curious

[@HarryChenTG]

whats wrong with the film editing of the last song?

[@jakbrol9236]

"Un peu difficile à jouer" xD "Mouvement "c'est la tendinite à coup sûr :p

[@sandornetoth8225]

Szoszko gitar?
