THE ROSENBERG TRIO & COSTEL NITESCU @ GULF STREAM JAZZ FESTIVAL – Normandie France

The Rosenberg trio is first and foremost a family story, as is the case with many gypsy jazz bands. Composed of Stochelo, solo guitar, cousin of Nous’ché, guitar accompaniment, and his brother Nonnie, contrabass, he has contributed since its inception in the late 1980s to the renewal of the genre, to the point of becoming a flagship group . Its reputation has, in fact, quickly surpassed the limits of the Sinti community of the Netherlands to reach an international dimension. Since their first album, “Seresta”, in 1988, the Rosenbergs, encouraged at their beginnings by Stéphane Grappelli, have multiplied the tours around the world and the recordings. The trio welcomes Romanian-born violinist Costel Nitescu, who has made a name for himself in recent years as a sparkling virtuoso.
