Boulou Ferr� - Nuages (LP)

Reissue of this 1980s SteepleChase recording by Boulou Ferr�, one of the greatest French contemporary virtuoso jazz guitarists of the manouche (gypsy jazz) tradition. He was awarded Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Cultural Ministry in 2012. Limited edition pressing on standard weight vinyl from the original matrices.

Together with his younger brother Elios Ferr�, also a jazz guitarist, Boulou recorded seven albums for SteepleChase. This album was recorded live at Slukefter in Tivoli Gardens and also featured Danish jazz bassist Jesper Lundgaard.

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 SCCD 31120 Pour Django. - Ottawa Citizen

The Ferr� trio's performance is full of European flavour...their emotional play suits very well the tunes selected here. - Okazaki, Swing Journal
