Stochelo Rosenberg

This self-released 2015 compact disc by Stochelo Rosenberg serves as a focused showcase for one of the world's foremost exponents of the Gypsy jazz guitar style. Often performing as the leader of the Rosenberg Trio, Stochelo chose to issue this project independently, allowing for a collection that highlights his technical precision and melodic sensibilities in the tradition established by Django Reinhardt. The release captures the virtuosic improvisational spirit and the rhythmic swing characteristic of his live performances.

The design of the disc reflects its independent origins, prioritizing the musical performance over elaborate promotional packaging. It serves as a personal document of Rosenberg's mastery of the Selmer-style guitar, documenting his distinct touch and phrasing during this period of his career. As an artist-distributed recording, it remains a sought-after piece for enthusiasts of contemporary manouche jazz, valued for its direct connection to the performer's artistic intentions.
