Born in Ploiesti, Romania, in 1970, Constantin “Costel” Nitescu is a thoroughly classically trained violinist who feels quite literally “at home” with the repertoire of various Central European musical styles. A real child prodigy, he was playing first violin in the National Radio Orchestra of Bucarest at the age of 16.
In the early 2000’s Costel moved to Paris, where his skills as an improviser quickly launched him onto the upper rungs of the Jazz Manouche ladder. Brought into the spotlight on the Gypsy Jazz stage by the likes of Angelo Debarre, Stochelo Rosenberg and Tchavolo Schmitt, Costel has a style at once elegant and fiery, following the steps of his idol, Stéphane Grappelli.
In 2008 he released his own tribute to the master, Forever Swing, Grappelli Forever. It showcased not only his skills as a violinist, but as a composer as well.

Nacido en Ploiesti, Rumania, en 1970, Constantin "Costel" Nitescu es un violinista de formación clásica que se siente literalmente "en casa" con el repertorio de varios estilos musicales centroeuropeos. Un verdadero niño prodigio, a la edad de 16 años tocaba el primer violín en la Orquesta de la Radio Nacional de Bucarest.
A principios del año 2000, Costel se trasladó a París, donde sus habilidades como improvisador lo lanzaron rápidamente a los peldaños superiores de la escalera del Jazz Manouche. Puesto en escena en el escenario del Jazz Gitano por gente como Angelo Debarre, Stochelo Rosenberg y Tchavolo Schmitt, Costel tiene un estilo a la vez elegante y ardiente, siguiendo los pasos de su ídolo, Stéphane Grappelli.
En 2008 lanzó su propio homenaje al maestro, Forever Swing, Grappelli Forever. Mostraba no sólo sus habilidades como violinista, sino también como compositor.
