The trio delights audiences not only with brilliant reinterpretations of the gypsy jazz canon but also with original compositions that freely weave in influences from Latin music, classical music, pop, and rock. This stylistic diversity, combined with execution of the highest order, attracts a broad audience and consolidates the ensemble’s position as artists with a distinct, creative identity.
The album Paris – Berlin was recorded direct-to-disc on vinyl at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin. Alongside this release, the trio’s discography includes several live albums that capture the energy and spontaneity of their live performances. Joscho Stephan’s popular YouTube channel, boasting nearly 40 million views, culminated in the album Playlist, which features recordings sourced exclusively from the platform.
The band regularly packs concert halls throughout Germany and appears at prestigious festivals such as the Leverkusener Jazz Tage and the Rheingau Music Festival.
On the international stage, the trio tours in countries like Italy, Poland, and Spain, with plans for an extensive tour that includes the United States and Australia.
Joscho Stephan has collaborated with eminent artists such as Bireli Lagrène, Stochelo Rosenberg, Tommy Emmanuel, Daniel Hope, as well as guitarists Richard Smith and Rory Hoffman in the Transatlantic Guitar Trio project. Furthermore, he was the only European guitarist invited to participate in the prestigious “George Benson Camp,” alongside names like Al Di Meola, Steve Lukather, and Tommy Emmanuel. Performances with Frank Vignola and John Jorgenson at the legendary Birdland Jazz Club in New York—spanning eight concerts—mark another significant highlight in his international career.
