About Matelo Ferret
- Jean Pierre "Matelo" Ferret (1918–1989) (also spelled Matelot, Matlo and Matlow, surname also later spelled Ferré on occasion) was a French musette and gypsy jazz guitarist and composer.
- He was an associate of Django Reinhardt and the brother of guitarists Baro and Sarane Ferret.
- He recorded with his own sextet in Paris in the 1940s and continued performing there, with occasional recording sessions, until his death in 1989.
- He was noted for a musical style that incorporated Russian and Hungarian influences and lived long enough to see a resurgence of interest in gypsy jazz in which he was recognised as one of the great surviving players of the genre.
- Two of his sons, Boulou and Elios Ferré, continue to play a more modern and individualistic form of gypsy jazz-based guitar music in Paris.
