Crooked Philosophy by Bill Barrett and Marcus Watkins
I always had this cultural exceptionalism thing that Gypsy Jazz didn't sound as good played by Americans. And then I heard John Jorgensen. And then I heard this record. Not only does it swing like nobody's business, it's got the grit and imperfections that make Manouche the seat of the pants music that I love. A truly magnificent record, graced with the best singing Bill's ever done (that I heard). Truly worth your while.
