In 2000 guitar virtuosos Birèli Lagréne and Sylvain Luc released the CD Duet. This album full of easily digestible jazzy guitar duets was enthusiastically received by the press. "Reporting elements of giddy, pre-war jazz and rowdy Gypsy folk, Duet yields plenty of fireworks and is a rewarding foray into the Django zone," reported Guitar Player magazine. And according to All Music the CD was a
… “worthy addition to the jazz guitar continuum”. Enough reason to do the trick again. After nine years, the successor to Duets will therefore be released under the sunny title Summertime. That piece is also the opener of the CD and, after a bluesy intro, it gets a nice shuffle-feel. Then it's time for a quick and nimble version of So What. Subsequently, many more jazz, pop and latin themes a pleasant duo treatment on this cd full of high quality campfire jazz. (HB)more
