Hello,
I founded a Gypsyband called "Manouche A Trois" several months ago. I am usually a Jazz (Hardbop, Bebop) guitarist and am just about teaching myself this new style. Fortunately one of the best gypsy guitarists in Europe - Martin Spitzer - helps me a lot with good tips. So please forgive, it`s not my usual level, but I`m enjoying this kinda music so much.

"Manouche A Trois" Audio examples:

We didn`t have the chance to record with the whole band, so I did some bass myself and used BIAB a little.

I play all the rhythm-guitar parts plus lead guitar on each track except on "Isn`t She lovely" (just rhythm here)

Enjoy,

Sandra

I love gypsy!

You play it beautifully.

It would be wonderful to see it played as well. Any videos in the future?

Thank you for listening and for your compliments!
There are indeed videos, but the picture quality isn`t so professional, so we`ll do some more filmings and learning by doing.

Can anybody tell me what "chops" are. heard it quite often.

Chops is the ability to play an instrument.

If one says that you have good chops that means you can play very well.

Oh, thank you very much!

I was looking at the Google Translator and the translation said something like "meat". So I have been wondering for some time now.
Thanks again.

Also . . . In the old jazz vernacular chops is synonymous with the term "the cat can play".

Thank you. The name was my idea.

For those who don`t know: "Manouche" is the french (sinti-) gypsy style, made famous by Django Reinhardt.

Kind of like "Menage a trois", but the wife and I have argued for years about who gets the middle and it's never been resolved. LOL.

That started years ago when she told one of her personal assistants who was apartment hunting that I did all the women's work and she had to shovel the snow. The idea of having a man cooking and doing laundry lead to weeks of crazy humour where she brought books with pictures of big beds, and photos of my lamb chop lollipops and filet mignon with mushroom and baby carrots ragout.

I did listen to your music and I could go out some afternoon and listen to that for hours. By the time 8 p.m. comes I can no longer stand easily, (it the arthritis), so I'm sitting in a chair....trying to decide which pain killer to take, narcotics, white wine, red wine, a combination...choices....

That was the intension, John ;-)
We`re two girls and a bald-headed young man on stage. If that doesn`t stimulate one`s phantasy...

But you know barking dogs don`t bite. I`ve been happily in love with my husband for 11 years now.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
