Album Notes Stephane Wrembel: Stephane Wrembel (guitar); Eric Rodgers (guitar); Jared Engel (bass instrument, bass guitar). Personnel: David Grisman (mandolin); Adam Munoz (recorder). Additional personnel: Brandi Shearer (vocals); Kevin Nolan, Robin Nolan (guitar); Ralph Carney (horns); Simon Planting (bass instrument, bass guitar). Audio Mixer: Aris Archontis. French guitarist Stephane Wrembel clearly emulates fellow countryman and musician Django Reinhardt. Yet Wrembel's Reinhardt-influenced playing doesn't lose charm for its easy-to-spot inspiration. Instead, GYPSY RUMBLE, recorded with Wrembel's trio and special guest David Grisman on mandolin, fuses the gypsy jazz of Reinhardt with various world music influences and postmodern flourishes in fresh and exciting ways. The album comes highly recommended to fans of Reinhardt, gypsy music, or acoustic classical guitar.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- Wrembel works the strings with hard confidence at a delirious pace on an album where he's joined in the front line by guest David Grisman... Down Beat
Wremble is paired with another longtime student of Reinhardt, mandolinists David Grisman, and the inspired interaction between the two reflects both their virtuosity and their keen knowledge of the Reinhardt canon. Dirty Linen
