The Stephane Wrembel Trio • Gypsy Rumble

Review by Anthony Tognazzini
French guitarist Stephane Wrembel clearly emulates fellow countryman and musician Django Reinhardt. Yet Wrembel’s Reinhardt-influenced playing doesn’t lose charm for its easy-to-spot inspiration. Instead, GYPSY RUMBLE, recorded with Wrembel’s trio and special guest David Grisman on mandolin, fuses the gypsy jazz of Reinhardt with various world music influences and postmodern flourishes in fresh and exciting ways. The album comes highly recommended to fans of Reinhardt, gypsy music, or acoustic classical guitar.

Reseña de Anthony Tognazzini
El guitarrista francés Stephane Wrembel emula claramente a su compatriota y músico Django Reinhardt. Sin embargo, la interpretación de Wrembel influenciada por Reinhardt no pierde encanto por su inspiración fácil de detectar. En cambio, GYPSY RUMBLE, grabado con el trío de Wrembel y el invitado especial David Grisman en la mandolina, fusiona el jazz gitano de Reinhardt con diversas influencias de la música mundial y florece posmoderno de maneras frescas y emocionantes. El álbum es muy recomendable para los fanáticos de Reinhardt, la música gitana o la guitarra acústica clásica.
