This is an album released in 1986 by French guitarist Bireli Lagrene, whose talent blossomed at a young age and who has been active as a master of gypsy jazz since the early 1980s. It was recorded live at a concert held in Switzerland in May of the same year, and features special guests Larry Coryell (g) and Miroslav Vitous (b). Coryell and Vitous do not play aggressively as in their previous works, but play contemporary jazz with a beautiful sound colored with nostalgia and melancholy from beginning to end, in tune with the gypsy jazz of Lagrene's dry acoustic guitar. The effectual guitar solo on B1 is cosmic.
B1: Solo Nr. 1
