JOSHCO STEPHAN TRIO

Joscho Stephan shapes modern gypsy swing with his playing like no other: With
his authentic tone, his harmonic finesse and his sense of rhythm, but above all
with his breathtaking solo technique, Stephan has earned himself an outstanding
reputation on the international guitar scene. Like no other, he knows how to
stand out from the multitude of current Gypsy Swing adaptations by combining
Gypsy Swing with Latin, Classical and Rock, in addition to numerous
interpretations of the well-known classics of the genre. This is where Stephan’s
strength as a creative visionary shines through. The result is a delight for concert
