Virtuoso guitarist Stephane Wrembel and his band, well known among Jazz Manouche aficionados for their devotion to the oeuvre of the legendary Django Reinhardt, team up with a very special guest Jean-Michel Pilc, piano for two nights of sophisticated and unpredictable music that the musicians are known for.

Django’s celebrated melodies immediately bring to mind fun times at a smoky French café full of happy musicians and cheerful crowds. Wrembel and his band are notorious in recreating the atmosphere. Pilc, a Paris born and self-taught pianist recognized for the depth of interpretation and virtuosity, complements the freewheeling style of gypsy melodies with mysterious piano passages.

Wrembel and his guests are very familiar to New York audiences for the Django-a-Gogo annual guitar festival, Django New Orleans, the most recent appearance here at Joe’s Pub in mid-June 2019 and other engagements in town. Jean-Michel Pilc performs regularly in New York City and is a recognized educator with faculty engagements at NYU, the New School and currently at The Schulich School of Music at McGill University in Montreal.

Reserve your seats for the performances at Joe’s Pub on October 11-12, 2019 here.
