Featuring Chris Quinn (Guitar)

+ Tom Moore (upright bass)

​

Two of gypsy jazz’s true global heavyweights join forces for a brand-new show — a high-octane night of hot swing, jaw-dropping virtuosity, and pure acoustic mastery.

​​

Recently described by Rick Beato as the world’s leading gypsy jazz guitarist, Joscho Stephan brings breathtaking technique, fearless creativity, and unstoppable groove — a modern master who can light up a room within seconds. Expect blazing solos, deep swing, and the kind of musical moments that make audiences laugh out loud in disbelief.

​​

Joscho’s career reads like a who’s-who of guitar royalty, with collaborations alongside Biréli Lagrène, Stochelo Rosenberg, and Tommy Emmanuel, plus appearances at iconic stages including Birdland Jazz Club (New York).

​

Joining him is Dutch Sinti sensation Paulus Schäfer — one of the most exciting and distinctive voices in gypsy jazz today. Raised inside the tradition, Paulus combines authentic fire with melodic brilliance, delivering solos that are as soulful as they are explosive.

 

With performances spanning world-class venues and major festivals — from Carnegie Hall, New York to Bimhuis Amsterdam and Copenhagen Jazz Festival — he brings true headline status wherever he goes.

​​

Completing the band is Chris Quinn, one of the UK’s leading accompanists in the genre, and Tom Moore, upright bass master and a driving force behind the quartet’s huge, punchy sound.

​

This is gypsy jazz at its absolute highest level — a once-in-a-generation pairing, live on stage.
