Joscho
Stephan, more than any other artist, has influenced modern gypsy swing
with his playing: With his authentic tone, his harmonic refinement and
sense of rhythm, but above all, with his breathtaking solo technique,
Stephan has established himself on the international guitar scene. This
master guitarist from Mönchengladbach is honoring Django Reinhardt on
the occasion of the 100th birthday of the father figure of gypsy swing.
With his homage, “Django Nuevo”, he pays tribute to the master with five
own compositions. By the same token, he reveals himself as a visionary
by taking nine compositions by other artists and using them to weave
gypsy swing together with Latin, classical and pop. This allows the
listener to rediscover such works as Santana's "Revelations", Mozart's
"Turkish March", and “Michelle” by the Fab Four in imaginative gyspsy
swing versions. With “Django Nuevo”, Joscho Stephan has managed to
create a wonderful homage that the legendary master of gypsy swing would
surely have been proud of.

Joscho
Stephan, más que ningún otro artista, ha influido con su toque en el
swing gitano moderno: Con su tono auténtico, su refinamiento armónico y
su sentido del ritmo, pero sobre todo, con su impresionante técnica
solista, Stephan se ha consolidado en la escena guitarrística
internacional. Este maestro de la guitarra de Mönchengladbach rinde
homenaje a Django Reinhardt con motivo del centenario del nacimiento de
la figura paterna del swing gitano. Con su homenaje, "Django Nuevo",
rinde tributo al maestro con cinco composiciones propias. Del mismo
modo, se revela como un visionario al tomar nueve composiciones de otros
artistas y utilizarlas para entrelazar el swing gitano con el latín, el
clásico y el pop. Esto permite al oyente redescubrir obras como
"Revelations" de Santana, la "Marcha Turca" de Mozart o "Michelle" de
los Fab Four en imaginativas versiones de swing gitano. Con "Django
Nuevo", Joscho Stephan ha conseguido crear un maravilloso homenaje del
que el legendario maestro del swing gitano seguramente se habría sentido
orgulloso.
