Jazz / Gypsy Jazz / Western European / Gypsy Jam / Guitar

French acoustic gypsy music inspired by the greatest guitarist of all times: Django Reinhardt. 2001: Stephane Wrembel records his first album in 4 hours. 2010: He goes back into the studio for three days with Dave Speranza on bass and Koran Hasanagic on guitar. Same playlist. Different players. Different sounds. Nine years of growth.

"Night Paths" is an album of dreamy ambience inspired by reveries of moonlit summer nights, walking aimlessly through forest paths. Made with a refined instrumental palette of electric guitar, analogue synthesizers and looper pedals, asynchronous loops and layers merge and collide in hypnotic lulling repetitions. An array of stomp box effects and crackling amp noise blur and disrupt these tones. Swathes of gauzy reverb and woozy delays and chorusing effects evoke daydreams and soft-focus memories.

If French-born composer, guitarist, and musical gypsy Stephane Wrembel's name was not familiar to mainstream jazz fans even as he released this, his stellar, eclectic, world music-driven fifth release, his music was certainly known to discerning film fans. Woody Allen used his tune "Big Brother" in Vicky Cristina Barcelona and he composed the theme to Midnight in Paris (entitled "Bistro Fada") which he performed live at the Oscars; he includes that whimsical, lilting tune on Origins, a set that explores his many influences.

Jazz / Gypsy Jazz / World Fusion / New Acoustic / Guitar

Gypsy jazz guitar wizard Stephane Wrembel is a French-born, classically trained modern day Django Reinhardt. He rose to prominence for composing the unforgettable and wistful theme track to Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, which he followed up with the excellent full-length record Dreamers of Dreams. David Fricke, of Rolling Stone, calls him “a revelation” and Josh Baron, of Relix Magazine, remarks, “he is one of the greatest guitar players I’ve ever seen… and I don’t say that lightly.” This is perfect music for a midday IPA in our courtyard.
