Zoran Schmitz Trio Plays - Made In France

Here’s our take on “Made in France”, a beautiful composition by the legendary Biréli Lagrène - one of the most influential modern voices in gypsy jazz. Originally released on his album Gipsy Trio (2009), this tune has become a favorite in the gypsy jazz repertoire, often played at jam sessions around the world. Made in France is typically performed as a flowing jazz waltz (in 3/4 or 6/8 feel), combining elegant melody with rich harmonic space that invites expressive improvisation. The piece reflects Lagrène’s deep roots in the Django Reinhardt tradition, while also showcasing his modern, lyrical approach to phrasing and rhythm. With its uplifting character and swinging pulse, it’s a perfect example of contemporary gypsy jazz. 👉 Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Comment Zoran Schmitz - Guitar Johannes Mandl - Guitar Miha Lampe - Double bass
