DJANGO NEW ORLEANS II: HORS SÉRIE
​​​
Release date: October 31, 2025
​
The journey continues with Django New Orleans II: Hors Série, the highly anticipated follow-up to Stéphane’s critically acclaimed Django New Orleans, which was released in May of 2023 on CD and vinyl.
Led by Stephane on guitar, the ensemble features Josh Kaye (guitar), Adrien Chevalier (violin), Steven Duffy (tuba), David Langlois (percussion/washboard), Nick Driscoll (tenor sax/clarinet), Joe Boga (trumpet), Scott Kettner (drums), and Sarah King (vocals). Together, they honor the legendary Django Reinhardt by fusing New Orleans brass and rhythms with the spellbinding guitar style of “Jazz Manouche.”
Hors Série offers fresh interpretations of timeless classics, alongside two brand-new original compositions by Stephane AND his debut as a vocalist!
As Jason Olaine, V.P. of programming of Jazz at Lincoln Center, writes, “Django New Orleans is a down-home party meets a high-end listening experience… the best of both worlds.”
"Perhaps the most creative improviser in Gypsy jazz today, Mr. Wrembel plays the guitar with a rich and colorful lyricism." – New York Times
“Stephane Wrembel just might be the greatest acoustic guitarist alive.” —The Aquarian
​
"For North Americans, Stephane Wrembel represents the living face of gypsy jazz." --New York Observer
"There's plenty of Gypsy jazz guitarists who can play more notes at a faster tempos than Django Reinhardt, but few can truly master the inventiveness, melody and sheer swing. Stephane Wrembel is one of the rarities… Throughout, Wrembel’s playing is simply wonderful. He creates lead lines that snake through the original melodies, accenting them with dazzling riffs, and coming back to earth-and making it all make sense. Using Bob Holo-built Selmer-style guitars, his tone is alive and warm. That’s jazz!” -- Vintage Guitar Magazine
“The mind-bendingly rapid melodies Stephane provided to the set’s final song were an exclamation point for an audience that was enthralled for 60 minutes of unforgettable music.” —Parklife DC
Stephane Wrembel, author of "Getting Into Gypsy Jazz" (Melbay Composer) & Grammy award-winner for the song "Bistro Fada" from "Midnight In Paris" is available for private, online lessons.
Stephane teaches guitar using the Django Reinhardt technique. His teaching includes building an efficient and rational practice routine, improvisation, rhythm, Renaissance counterpoint and harmony. Each student will receive a personalized lesson based on his/her uniqueness. The guitar style of Django Reinhardt is profound. Stephane will make you feel its depth.
