When Bireli Lagrene number one emerged in 1980 as a 13-year-old wHO sounded precisely like Django Reinhardt, he was considered a marvel. Born (like Reinhardt) to a itinerant menage, he had been playing guitar since he was four-spot. After a few geezerhood and various recordings, Lagrene advisedly got away from the Reinhardt influence, playing high-powered rock-oriented optical fusion and recording with Jaco Pastorius in 1986. He sounded more original merely much less interesting during this geological period. The guitarist has since returned to a quieter pattern of jazz, playing difficult boP versions of standards with hints of his earlier interests in Reinhardt and nuclear fusion. Bireli Lagrene has recorded for Antilles, Jazzpoint, Blue Note, and Dreyfus.
