Title: Great gypsy playing!
Review: What a great release! I've like Mandino for some time, having 2 of his Note Manouche albums, and having seen him in Tony Gatlif's Swing. Here, he utilizes the pre-war Hot Club format: 1 solo guitar, 2 rhythm guitars, violin, and contrabass. The distinguishing feature of this album is that Mandino's playing and original compositions are a little more "gypsy" than what you usually find these days. Plus, you get 3 great songs sung in Romani!
