Gypsy jazz guitar virtuoso Stephane Wrembel will celebrate the release of his new recording, “2001-2010”, on Saturday, May 29, from 8pm until midnight at the Green Mill (4802 N. Broadway). Guitarist Stephane Wrembel will lead Koran Hasanagic on guitar, Dave Speranza on bass, and Nick Anderson on percussion and drums.
One could call Stephane Wrembel a Gypsy, a World Traveler, for the music he plays and his lifestyle are expressive of the Gypsy way of life. Born in Paris, and raised in Fontainbleu (home of Impressionism and the music of Django Reinhardt), Stephane began classical training at the age of four. His life took a decisive turn in his late teens when he first discovered Django’s music and the Gypsies. He spent the next ten years learning, playing and expanding this tradition. This intense work gave him his technique, but the time he spent playing around campfires and trailers gave him his soul.
After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music with studies in Contemporary Jazz, Indian, African and Middle Eastern music, his life took another turn when he moved to New York City. Stephane is always in motion, always searching and never stopping in his quest to create a new sound.
