Hailed as one of the most exciting ensembles in the acoustic guitar scene today, the Joscho Stephan Trio is breathing fresh life into the classic gypsy swing tradition pioneered by Django Reinhardt. Led by the masterful playing of Joscho Stephan and joined by Sven Jungbeck (guitar) and Volker Kamp (double bass), their live performances reveal a mesmerizing synergy and technical brilliance that captivate audiences worldwide.

With a YouTube channel amassing nearly 40 million views, Joscho has built a global following. He has collaborated with guitar legends including Tommy Emmanuel, Stochelo Rosenberg, and Biréli Lagrène, and was handpicked as the only European guitarist at the exclusive George Benson Camp.

At the heart of the trio’s success is their fearless musical innovation. While they reverently rework timeless jazz standards, they also infuse their own compositions with influences spanning Latin, classical, pop, and rock—making every set a dynamic feast for the ears.

Expect an exhilarating evening of modern gypsy jazz—a breathtaking combination of virtuosity, swing, and boundary-pushing creativity that will leave you inspired and energized for more.
