Jimmy Lives

"For those if you looking for more from Sinti, search for Jimmy Rosenberg. There are a few more CDs from him that are more or less available. One reads, "This item usually ships in 1 to 3 months." Maybe he switched to an Inner Mongolian label? It certainly is a wonder why he hasn't yet lived up to the hype he generated as a teenage jazz prodigy."

Where are these guys?

"The mystery of Sinti is what happened to them. This album was recorded in the summer of 1994--over 5 1/2 years ago. Rosenberg should be about 20 now. By what we hear on this album he should be the most accomplished guitarist in the Known Universe. Why haven't they recorded more albums? Did they quit, run out of material, die? If you don't have it, and appreciate truly virtuoso performances, then this will get you to sit up and listen. An amazing accomplishment. But I wanna hear more!"

Sinti

"This is the first disc by (then) 16-year-old Gypsy swing guitar sensation Jimmy Rosenburg. While he perhaps shows more flash than soul, this is perhaps natural for such a young guitarist. And as for the flash, he's got it in spades. The song selection is eclectic (c'mon where else are you gonna hear Ellington's "Caravan" and the "Flintstones' Theme" on the same album) and the rythm section composed of Jimmy's brother (rythm guitar) and Rinus Steinbach (contrabass) is driving. This guy is future Django material!"
