  • Dates:2025-01-23

GRAMMY-winning French jazz musician/composer Stephane Wrembel remains one of the preeminent guitarists in the world specializing in the traditional style inspired by Romani guitar master, Django Reinhardt. Wrembel’s exceptional grasp of this style transcends jazz, blues, flamenco, and rock while adding his own distinct flair. Stephane Wrembel has released over 20 critically praised albums, produced his own globally recognized annual music festival “Django A Gogo” since 2003, and had his original compositions featured in filmmaker Woody Allen’s motion pictures. In addition to his song “Big Brother” in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Wrembel’s irresistibly catchy “Bistro Fada” in the Oscar-winning Midnight in Paris secured the GRAMMY win for “Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media” in 2013. Wrembel continued to turn heads in the jazz world in 2019 when he released the highly regarded Django L’Impressionniste, refocusing the spotlight on 17 of Reinhardt’s illustrious preludes for solo guitar. His NYC-based group, Django New Orleans, sold out eight shows at Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2021. He has headlined Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall in NYC, and The Lyon Opera House in France, as well as shared stages with Esperanza Spalding, Mark O’Connor, Sam Bush, Elvis Costello, The Roots, and Al Di Meola. Now, Stephane Wrembel brings his 2024 three-part recording series, Triptych, to Sidney’s Charlie White Theatre at the Mary Winspear Centre in time for Django Reinhardt’s 115th birthday on January 23. Joining Stephane Wrembel’s Quartet on stage will be special guest and Paris-born, Montreal-based piano virtuoso Jean-Michel Pilc. This evening is set to be a truly unparalleled live experience for all music lovers. Josh Kaye guitar, Ari Folman-Cohen bass, Nick Anderson drums On sale Friday, October 18!
