Joscho Stephan - Django Forever

With his debut CD “Swinging Strings”, Joscho Stephan embarked on a meteoric career, and his following CD, “Swing News”, was also greeted with enthusiasm by the press and the public. And the third CD “Django Forever” is a self-confident homage to the great role model. Seven pieces by Reinhardt and Joscho himself respectively reveal a mature young guitarist who captivates the listener with technical brilliance and supple phrasings. The youngster also dares to steal a glance at other fields. The classic “Nuages”, for example, appears in a light-footed reggae rhythm, the own composition “Chica” gives space for modern blues phrasings, and the soloistic ballad “Gypsy” reveals an outstanding guitarist who serenely gives expression to his musical refinement.
