Boulou & Elios Ferre - Gypsy Dreams (LP)

180g vinyl reissue of this 1980 LP on SteepleChase from Boulou Ferr� (b. April 24, 1951 in Paris, France), one of the greatest French contemporary virtuoso jazz guitarists of the manouche (gypsy jazz) tradition, playing alongside his brother Elios Ferr�.

Boulou was made Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Cultural Ministry in 2012. Together with his younger brother Elios, also a jazz guitarist, Boulou recorded seven albums for SteepleChase. This is the duo album from 1980 recorded in Copenhagen.

In this duo acoustic guitar session, the brothers Ferr� grab and hold attention...they maintain a lively, imaginative interplay...greatly extend the library for acoustic guitar. This is a worthy follow-up of their earlier album Pour Django. - Ottawa Citizen
