A 1979 album by French jazz/classical guitarist Raphael Fays. Featuring renowned drummers André Ceccarelli and Pierre-Alain Dahan, both known for their contributions to numerous iconic library records, as well as percussionist Emmanuel Roche, celebrated for his performances on disco classics like the Gibson Brothers' Cuba. As the title suggests, this album explores gypsy jazz, showcasing covers of Duke Ellington and original compositions with a light and elegant semi-acoustic guitar sound. Standout tracks include B2, a stunning Latin crossover piece with lush arrangements and an uplifting breezy feel, and B3, which captivates with its urban George Benson-inspired guitar play and laid-back groove.
B2: Southern Comfort
B3: Anyway
