My Life & Work

  • Bio: Un merveilleux musicien, un magicien de la guitare parmi les plus éblouissants, un “chorégraphe” de la six-cordes comme on les compte actuellement sur les doigts d’une main.

    Biréli Lagrène est un guitariste de jazz manouche, né le 4 septembre 1966, en Alsace, dans la commune de Soufflenheim. Issu d’une famille de culture manouche, il apprend auprès de son frère et de son père le répertoire de Django Reinhardt.

    D’emblée, la musique fut son langage, et celle de Reinhardt son école. Destinée inévitable quand l’on naît, comme lui, en Alsace (en 1966), que l’on est issu de la grande famille manouche, et que la chance vous désigne comme un surdoué en la matière.

    Esprit vif-argent, Biréli pigera très vite l’histoire. Au-delà de la rigueur qui fut celle de son apprentissage (avec son père, puis avec son frère), de ce mélange inouï de force et de précision, Lagrène aura la grâce insigne de ne jamais négliger l’essentiel : “Django m’a aidé à aller voir ce qui se passe ailleurs ”, aime-t-il à rappeler.

    De cette formidable leçon de liberté, qu’il sut capter comme aucun autre, ses premières grandes prestations publiques (notamment à Montreux, en 1981 LINK) offrent un témoignage saisissant.

    Le jeune Lagrène devient rapidement un virtuose de la guitare et rencontre Stéphane Grappelli, un illustre violoniste de jazz du 20ème siècle. Outre les concerts avec le violoniste, au cours de son adolescence, Biréli prend part à quelques tournées en compagnie d’artistes de renom comme Benny Carter, le contrebassiste danois Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, et bien d’autres encore.

    Son style évolue au fil des années et de ses rencontres. A ses débuts, la touche Reinhardt se fait ressentir, mais assez rapidement le jeune guitariste découvre de nouveaux horizons avec des musiciens tels que Jimi Hendrix et George Benson, et un nouveau courant musical le jazz fusion.

    Sa rencontre avec le bassiste américain Jaco Pastorius, en 1985, l’invite à s’améliorer en tant que bassiste, instrument sur lequel Biréli peut jouer parfois en concert. Quatre années plus tard, il forme en compagnie de Larry Coryell et de Al di Meola un trio de guitaristes hors pair.

    Du côté de ses albums, Biréli Lagrène s’essaie à plusieurs univers, une période acoustique avec l’album Acoustic Moments en 1990, une époque jazz fusion avec les albums Inferno et Foreign Affairs en 1988 et 1989, et une réinterprétation des standards de jazz en 1992 avec l’album Standards. A nouveau en 1994, il compose un trio avec cette fois-ci Chris Mink Doky et André Ceccarelli, l’ancien batteur des Chats Sauvages.

    Les années 90 seront pour Biréli celles de la reconnaissance et de la consécration, obtenue en jouant les standards (“Live in Marciac”, 1994). Vertu du classicisme (puisque Lagrène possède, aussi, cette carte-là en stock).

    Django d’Or en 1993, Victoire de la Musique en 2001 et en 2002, Biréli collectionne les trophées, et relève à l’aube des années 2000 un incroyable défi : rejouer la musique de ses origines, tout en demeurant lui-même. A ce jeu habituellement dangereux, il est (seul, face au miroir) l’un des rares à ne pas sombrer dans l’écueil du narcissisme.

    Exercice de haute voltige et prouesse véritable, l’épopée du “Gipsy Project” est un triomphe (qui culmine avec un “Live à Vienne” absolument décoiffant). La boucle est donc bouclée, et le moment venu pour l’un des plus grands guitaristes de ce temps d’aller vers de nouveaux rivages. Nouvelle formule, nouvelle inspiration et nouvelle musique à explorer, plus proche du blues, pour un homme définitivement “en mouvement”.

    En 1999, en collaboration avec le guitariste Sylvain Luc, il travaille sur l’album Duet. Gipsy Project signe le retour de Biréli à ses premiers émois. L’année 2006 connaît deux albums du guitariste manouche, mais dans des registres différents pour lui, To Bi Or Not To Bi un album solo et Djangology en compagnie du WDR Big Band.

    Retour au jazz fusion en 2008 avec l’album Electric Side. Cet album reprend quelques-unes de ses compositions avec la collaboration d’un DJ. En 2009, Gipsy Trio marque son retour au jazz manouche avec des collaborations déjà épurées, notamment le contrebassiste Diego Imbert, le guitariste Hono Winterstein et au saxophone Franck Wolf.

    En 2012, le ministre de la Culture, Frédéric Mitterrand, le décore Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, récompense qui consacre Biréli Lagrène dans son domaine artistique de prédilection, la musique.

    Depuis 2015, Lagrène alterne entre le Gipsy Project et le quartet d’Antonio Farao.

The world's artistry via giant steps through a matrix based in the phenomenon placing most of the 7.8 billion of us within 6 or fewer degrees — steps — of each other ...

 

... a project conceived and built in the fertile, fecund and atavistic ground zero of Bahia, Brazil initially for the discoverability of this singular region's dispossessed genius.

 

All explained in the window immediately below. Followed — beneath this window — by scores of magnificent artists, each leading to myriads more artists/categories. Inside this window also  may be found our Brazilian record store radio, named by British journal The Guardian as one of 10 of the Best Radio Stations Around the World!

 

IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT

 

Brazil is not a European nation. It's not a North American nation. It's not an East Asian nation. It straddles -- jungle and desert and dense urban centers -- both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. It absorbed over ten times the number of African slaves taken to the United States of America, and much of its aboriginal population was absorbed into the general population-at-large. Its people have lived under oligarchy, plutocracy, dictatorships and massive corruption, with elements of these still strongly entrenched today.

 

But!

 

Brazil has buzz...not the shallow buzz of a fashionable moment...but the deep buzz of a population which in spite of -- or perhaps because of -- the tough slog through life they've been allotted by humanity's dregs-in-fine-linen, have chosen not to simply pull themselves along but to lift their voices in song and their bodies in dance...to eat well and converse well and much and to wring the joy out of the day-to-day happenings and small pleasures of life which are so often set aside or ignored in the European, North American, and East Asian nations.

 

For this Brazil has a genius perhaps unparalleled in all other countries and societies, a genius which thrives alongside peeling paint and holes in the streets and roads, under bad organization by the powers-that-be, both civil and governmental, under a constant rain of societal indignities...

 

Which is all to say that if you don't know Brazil and you're expecting any semblance of order, progress and light, you will certainly find the light! And the buzz of a people who for generations have responded to privation at many different levels by somehow rising above it all.

 

Raimundo Sodré, in a conversation ranging through New Orleans and Harlem and the South Side of Chicago ... and Appalachia and Irish villages and Russian shtetls and the unofficial symbol of Brazil's Bahian-born national music (the pandeiro) almost certainly having arrived in Brazil in the hands of Sephardic Jews (including conversos) fleeing the Inquisition, once remarked: "Where there's misery, there's music!"

 

A pandeirista on the roof. And it's not just music. And it's not just Brazil.
