Without a big stage show and without special effects, they come along with just two guitars and a double bass and bring the house to a boil!
The trio around Gismo Graf, once celebrated as the shooting star of gypsy jazz, who has now outgrown his prodigy status and is regarded as one of the leading and most innovative gypsy jazz guitarists in the world, together with his father Joschi Graf on rhythm guitar and double bassist Joel Locher, in short - the Gismo Graf Trio - present their 15th anniversary program.
"In Spirito Django" - the name says it all. However, in addition to Django Reinhardt's most famous classics, the trio is associated with a unique and exciting mixture of original compositions, pop, classical and even rock songs in a gypsy jazz guise. Thus - at first glance - randomly thrown together pieces by Sting, Michael Jackson or even piano concertos by Frederic Chopin and
film music from the Walt Disney films create such a fitting mixture that it seems as if they could have been penned by Django Reinhardt.
Combined with the razor-sharp humor of the three musicians on stage, the result is a unique and entertaining program that catapults gypsy jazz directly into the year 2025. Dutchman Stochelo Rosenberg, who has been celebrating success around the globe with his world-famous Rosenberg Trio for more than 30 years, is coming to Germany to present their joint project together with the star of the German gypsy jazz scene, Gismo Graf and his trio at the Freiburg Zelt Musik Festival.
In 2017, Stochelo recorded the soundtrack for the opening film of the Berlinale by Etienne Comar "Django - a life for music".
Sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall in New York, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, festivals such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, The Rose Bowl Los Angeles, Jazz Festival of Montreal and many more speak for themselves. Collaborations with music greats such as Stephane Grappelli, Luciano Pavarotti, Shirley Basey, Randy Crawford, The Manhattan Transfer, etc. have graced his career.
Stochelo Rosenberg is considered one of the best guitarists in the world!
