Album Notes

"Do not miss an opportunity to see one the greatest guitar players I’ve ever seen ...and I don’t say that lightly."
Josh Baron, Relix Magazine

"a John Coltrane-ish search for a moment of musical nirvana..."
Phil Gallo, Variety

"Don't miss this opportunity to see a truly astomishing talent in action"
All about Jazz


For this new album, I've been focusing more on compositions, and on the mood. I didn't want it to be another Django cover kind of album.
You'll find various influences : Django, Middle East, and maybe some impressionistic colors too.
I like to think of Music as a soundtrack.
Depending on your mood, your position in Time and Space, your personality, your culture, you'll appreciate different styles of music at different times.
I never listened to the notes but always was drawn into the mood, and that's how I expect this album to be : a suite of moods helping your soul to travel.

"The disc shows off Wrembel's limber chops in a variety of settings, including ebullient French-Gypsy swing, moody ballads, sultry raga-influenced numbers and a lithe cover of Mongo Santamaria's 'Afro Blue'. "

Great and inventive music !
author: Guelda
Hello, I'm fond of Stephane Wrembel's gypsy playing (I play too) but I have been very surprised and pleased to hear that he has a lot of other musical talents. His playing is very personal and inventive, so it's a great CD to refresh your musical ideas as a player, and really appreciable for a classic listener ;)
