Gypsy Jazz/Jazz manouche/Gipsy Jazz

Having played thorough most of the Django Reinhardt & The Quintet of the Hot Club of France catalog, I decided to dive into the contemporary Gypsy Jazz scene.

Since there's no thread outside of Django, let this be ILM Jazz manouche central.

So far, into these albums:

(1991) Fapy Lafertin - Fleur de Lavende
(1993) Dorado Schmitt - Gypsy Reuinon
(2001) Joscho Stephen - Swinging Strings
(2004) Andreas Öberg - Invites Yorgui Loeffler & Ritary Gaguenetti
(2005) Patrick Saussois, Bucky Pizzarelli & Jerry Bruno - Swingin' American Songs
(2006) Stochelo Rosenberg & Romane - Gypsy Guitar Masters
(2008) Rosenberg Trio & Tim Kliphuis - Tribute to Stéphane Grappelli
(2009) Biréli Lagrène's Gipsy Trio - Gipsy Trio

I also got (1990) Biréli Lagrène - Acoustic Moments, but it's more Contemporary Jazz/Smooth Jazz or whatever.

I plan on getting much of the Stéphane Grappelli solo catalog shortly.

Any must haves I'm not yet aware of?

Not into it myself, but here's a plug for a local festival that might interest you:

Surely, there are other fans here.

(2007) Samson Schmitt - Alicia is really good.

I realize I'm currently alone on this thread, but for prosperity's sake....

(2002) Angelo Debarre Quartet - Impromtu

Good album, also.

(I think their first album might have been more gypsy jazz than this new one.)

Too bad about the vocals.

Joscho Stephan is touring the UK next month. This is a MUST.
