Joscho Stephan Trio

In the organizer's words:

Joscho Stephan has shaped modern gypsy swing like no other with his playing:
With his authentic tone, harmonic finesse and rhythmic flair, but above all with his breathtaking solo technique, Stephan has earned himself an outstanding reputation on the international guitar scene.

Like no other, he knows how to stand out from the multitude of current gypsy swing adaptations by combining gypsy swing with Latin, classical and rock alongside numerous interpretations of the well-known classics of the genre. This shows Stephan's strength as a creative visionary. And this inspires young and old concert audiences alike. Joscho's YouTube version of "Hey Joe" has now cracked the 3 million mark.

His debut album "Swinging Strings" was voted CD of the month by the American trade magazine "Guitar Player" in 1999. The renowned "Acoustic Guitar Magazine" celebrated Joscho Stephan as a guarantor for the future of gypsy jazz guitar back in 2004. For the CD "Guitar Heroes" in 2015, he was able to win guitar greats such as Bireli Lagrène, Stochelo Rosenberg and Tommy Emmanuel as guests. Joscho is now a sought-after guest himself and has appeared on the latest albums by Peter Kraus and Daniel Hope, among others.

He has also performed to great acclaim in the USA with concerts in Nashville, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit and at the legendary Birdland jazz club and Lincoln Center in New York.
