You mean hot jazz, not Taraf de Haiduks...Tougher to find as most of it is copyrighted, not traditional.

To slightly elaborate: they are to gypsy music what the bothy band is to irish. Fake.

More elaboration: the rhythm is wrong. End of story. Why is it so hard for all these bands to popularise? The rhythm - the real rhythm is always lost?

We just listened to Seamus Creagh on Geantrai on my darlings birthday for the date. Him and Jackie Daly - there was some rhythm.

I remember hearing Taraf etc - they were sh*te. Flashy, and no substance. I left early. My wife and friends were mortified. We caught up later.

Sheet music is not the way into playing Gypsy Jazz. It's not just a melodic line. You need to understand the chord structure and rhythm (le Pompe!) first - then you have to learn to smoke a lot and get the right haircut.

Random - I love Paddy Keenan, Tommy Peoples, Molloy etc. But not that enamoured of the thrash backing section they used to play with.

This is nice stuff...a bit more "pure drop" although I'm no expert.
