Roland Dyens - A Night in Tunisia 

How could I not have heard of him until now?! I just discovered him by seeing an (arr by Roland Dyens) credit from Erik Satie. I might have died incomplete if not having stumbled upon this gem of a musician! Life is too short to find all the gems of life.

This gentleman obviously has a jazz sense of timing to go with his classical skill. It's a shame that he struggled with heart disease for all of his adult life. R.I.P. Messr Dyens.

There was no one like Roland. His guitar playing was his alone and it seemed like only he could play his compositions and arrangements in the spirit that he did it.

Roland was a true composer, trying different genres of music as well as hammer ons, pull offs, chord harmonics and drumming.! R.I.P. Roland.

I think Roland Dyens is one of the best musicians that through one guitar to express music.

I had the chance to see him playing in Grenoble for 12 years... just amazing. There was a snow storm and the heating was broken... In spite of frozen fingers, it was almost perfect and such an expressive performance!

WOW! If that's what A Night In Tunisia is like, I'll go and stay forever. Roland Dyens is absolutely amazing and masterful.

A friend invited me to a concert in Toronto recently where Roland performed in Yorkville to celebrate Eli Kassner's 85th birthday. It was an amazing experience. No one moved, coughed... you could hear a pin drop. He is quiet amazing. Like a fine wine, a good book, a gourmet meal. Bravo! LE

He is the ultimate solo guitar player. He does not need a drummer, a base player, nor any accompanists, he can do everything on his guitar at once. 究極のソロギタリストですね。ドラマーもベーシストもいりません。 彼一人で全部やってのけます。

I have been listening and playing the classical guitar for a while, I heard many great guitarists. But what Roland Dyens is able to deliver in beauty and technique is just amazing. Also check out Berimbau and Nuages arranged by R Dyens as well. Bravo Roland c'est du bonheur, ma mère m'a fait écouter nuages il y a longtemps, je n'ai cessé de vous écouter depuis!

those chords!!! this is why i love the guitar

OMG, could not stop tapping my foot, and then my whole leg, through this one, HE'S GOT SWING!!!. There's more going on in this one guitar than most bands. Just amazing.

GORGEOUS PANOS(GOD BLESS YOU)

Jesus the amount of work that must've gone into that...

Will be missed.

The fact that periphery is in the suggestion section makes me really happy.

RIP Maestro.

complete genius! he came to my country (paraguay) last year... he amazed me in every way possible. This man is what I call, a TRUE musician. Music from the soul

A Masterpiece

that was without a doubt a quite marvelous interpretation and an all round genius performance of A Night in Tunisia by the late great Roland Dyens. i'm now going to have a listen to dizzy Gillespie original and RIP to the both great men

RIP we lost marvelous, outstanding ,splendid and wonderful guitar composer.... maybe he was a talented and gifted guitar composer per one hundred years.

This is a magestic way of playing the guitar by a great guitarist!!!

This man is a living legend! Does anyone in the world has imagination as he to do arrangements? Or to play in such a masterful and yet, original way? I doubt it. "Long Live Roland Dyens!"

was lucky enough to see this genius live and in person, for FREE! incredible.

Whoa, umm, just whoa... That was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time now, I was captivated the whole time. First I've heard of this fellow but safe to assume I'm hooked.

Une incroyable prestation ! Roland Dyens était tout simplement génial !
