Awesome: I had the honor of hanging with Joscho in NYC three years ago. It was stunning to see such a talent, just sitting there, three feet away playing the most beautiful and scary stuff you've ever heard in your life! Angelo Debarre and Samson Schmitt were on hand as well as a bunch of other Gypsies: Joscho was on fire! I found it compelling that he would quote Clapton and other rock players in his solos... not heard of elsewhere.

Thanks for this: beautiful arrangement of a classic tune!

Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience and impressions!

I have to admit, that I first got in contact with his music via YouTube. Tommy Emmanuel mentioned him in one of his videos and afterwards I realized that they already played a couple of shows together (and that he´s from Germany). That´s why I took my cam with me that night and asked him for permission to post it here. And what can I say: Besides all the other great songs, "Nuages" is my personal highlight of the show!

Greetings,Julian

since this video is linked to me. i'd say its great. yeah. although its not to my liking. its art anyway.

[PetrucciFeverLive]

It´s definitely great art!

[XxOverTheOceanxX]

Beautiful! At 4:21 he goes INSANE! What an amazing guitarist!!! He´s a friend of Tommy Emmanuel, right? 5*

[PetrucciFeverLive]

Haha...he really goes insane. Brilliant performance! I know that he performed some shows with Tommy, so I guess they are friends. Hopefully, I´ll have the chance to see them together on stage one day!

This is what people said about Charlie Parker who couldn't listen fast enough. "Don't get the feel of clouds"? Is that the official standard? You seem to be looking for a particular feel and programme in this tune that YOU want...but that's not the only way to play it. That being said, he is in love with a particular feel and certain riffs, so many of his recordings sound similar. Is that a defect or just a matter of taste? -- some people like pepper on every dish. I happen to like this pepper.

I can't believe there are people who criticize this guy's playing. It must be jealousy. He has mind boggling technique, great energy and boundless imagination. If that's bad I hope I can be that bad someday. JOSCHO RULES!!!!

There's a whole guitar lesson in this video

@newagez just looks so cool to read "a bunch of other gypsies"!!

very jazz-

Got to see The trio play this today. Greatest concert of my life, only 20 or 30 people there and i made sure to be in front. Many times i've been let down by performers seeing them in person but this was extraordinary. They played with such grace and comfort that it was like being in your own living room watching it. They were in a rush to leave for a second show but still signed my cd and chatted. Max Schaaf was a gentleman to speak to and didn't rush leave.i'm waiting to up load the video now,

If 'Back to the Future' starred Joscho Stephan and was about Gypsy Jazz, Marvin Reinhardt would've rang his cousin to say, "hey Django, you know that sound you've benn looking for? Well listen to this!......"
