5.0 out of 5 stars VERY hot Gypsy swing, June 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival (Audio CD)

For fans of guitar-driven "Gyspy Swing" in the style pioneered by the late Django Reinhardt, this is one of the most remarkable recording ever done in this genre. I enjoyed the Rosenberg's CARAVAN CD, but I like this one even more. The interplay between the three is remarkable. The lead guitar work is so astounding that it sometimes eclipses the equally stellar rhythm guitar and bass support. The fire that comes from a live performance is definitely there and there is a great selection of tunes, from classic swing to more contemporary pieces (Pent Up House) along with a few classic Gypsy standards (Dark Eyes, here bearing its French title Les Yeux Noir). Highly recommended. One caveat....amateur guitarists may be inspired to quit practicing!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rosenberg Trio's Live Performance Is Absolutely Fabulous, February 25, 1999

I have just listened to this CD and I now find myself in a dream-like state. It is astonishing that anyone could master an instrument in the manner displayed by Stochello Rosenbeg on this recording. His steel-string guitar solos are something to behold. His improvised lines on Chick Corea's "Spain" make Al DiMeola's version of this piece sound like something out of a "Mel Bay" songbook. { I wonder if Al or Mel could sue me for making this statement ?} Stochello's solos are performed with machine-like precision and breathtaking speed; yet they are sublimely melodic and tasty as well. The general style is similar to Django Reinhardt but these guys go well beyond mere imitation. That is not to suggest there are many mere mortals who could reasonably emulate Django. I can safely advise all who savor instrumental music [ and in particular guitar music ] to use all haste in reducing this CD to possession. You will not be disappointed. If you enjoy this kind of music I also recommend early Birelli LaGrene recordings { "Routes to Django" and "15" } and Martin Taylor's albums { including those with the inimitable Stephane Grappelli }.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Jazz Guitar, September 4, 2000

I heard this trio for the first time in a live concert in Vienne, France, last July. Didnt know them before. The first piece they played, "For Sephora," blew me away. Stochello Rosenbeg's mastery of the guitar is phenomenal. His improvisations stay true to the tune, yet are complex enough to keep you on your tows. His synergy with his brothers is also remarkable.
