Album Notes

"Without ever forcing his virtuosity, Sebastien brings swing and fluidity to his long, limpid and melodic lines, which he articulates with beautiful clarity... In superb form on the Latin numbers, the violinist John Intrator plays the ballads with sensitivity and elegance and brings excellent drive to the swing tunes.

As to the rhythm section, it is flawless - Alain Dessauges’ solid double bass and Youri's metronomic guitar backing are a perfect springboard for the soloists... pure gypsy swing played with sophistication, brilliance and ease. Bravo!"

Francis Couvreux, REVUE ETUDES TSIGANES, October 2007

"The temperature rises from one piece to the next. The first half of the concert ends with a standing ovation! Then the gypsy swing starts up again, with the virtuosity that characterizes the group... The complicity between the four musicians is perfect and almost palpable. And what rhythm!... The large audience applauds with all its might."

Le Progrès, 22/04/2007


"Crazy rhythms, skill, technical mastery : everyone played flat out, but in a completely natural way. John Intrator certainly deserves the compliments he received from Stéphane Grappelli, and his accompanists were also excellent. Quite simply superb!"
