About this Event
The living face of Gypsy jazz…
Award-winning guitarist Stephane Wrembel is one of the most highly regarded guitarists in the world. Specializing in the style of legendary composer/guitarist Django Reinhardt, he learned his craft among the Gypsies at campsites in the French countryside. The breadth and range of his playing and compositions are unmatched. This prolific musician, composer, educator, and musical director has released a steady stream of music since 2002, truly making his mark as one of the most original guitar voices in contemporary music.
Wrembel has had a remarkable career, touring the world, and releasing 16 albums under his name and the nom de plume, The Django Experiment, with the most recent installment in the series, The Django Experiment VI, out now. His original compositions have been featured in three of Woody Allen’s movies--Vicki Cristina Barcelona, Midnight in Paris, and Rifkin’s Festival.
While Wrembel is considered one of the preeminent master guitarists in the Django Reinhardt style, he revels in transcending and expanding. His music incorporates jazz, blues, classical, swing, flamenco and rock. All of these influences come together as a genre identifiable only as Stephane Wrembel.
“I just play my own music,” he says. “I like to believe that it is beyond any one genre and that there is something in it for everyone. It’s not only for the Django lover or jazz lover. It’s for the music lover.”
Wrembel will perform with his quartet—Josh Kaye on guitar, Ari Folman-Cohen on bass, and Nick Anderson on drums.
“Pure dazzle and dash, a stunning storm of notes that blankets the melody in a rain of arpeggiated notes.” --Vintage Guitar Magazine
"Stephane Wrembel represents the living face of Gypsy jazz." --New York Observer
