'Manouche Party with accordeonist Jo Privat and Matelo Ferret is one of the best gypsy jazz and musette albums of all time.It’s near impossible to find this French CD in the USA, but Matelo’s daredevil solo on 'Dark Eyes' would make an airplane ticket to Paris to buy the disc worthwhile.' ~ Michael Dregni

'Gus Viseur was a virtuoso in the musette genre, during the swing era in the 1930s. He is the only jazz accordionist who is a member of the famous Hot Club de France, conducted by Charles Delaunay. Viseur began his career playing in the streets of Paris & managed to get a great sound from a chromatic button accordion. It was clear that he was doing something innovative: He helped create the accordion-jazz style known as manouche. Meeting Django Reinhardt and performing with the legendary Quintet of the Hot Club of France was an important new chapter in his life. Later he even played bebop in the fifties. He was the first to draw a link between Musette and Jazz, but he never forgot Musette. That was his main voice. There is an unbelievable strength in his playing, that gives him the ability to improvise in all those different music genres. In addition to his numerous recordings he also performed in cabarets and nightclubs. He recorded his first record in 1937 and accompanied Édith Piaf in 1940.' 320 remerciements à espilos
