The Rosenberg Trio has been one of the most influential groups in the Gypsy jazz revival. Their technique and musicality is matched by few others. This video was shot during the early 1990s. Stochelo Rosenberg was technically at his height during this period. Although he has matured greatly as a musician over the years, it’s rare to seem him play with the speed and ferocity you see in this video.

Many of the ideas Stochelo is using in this solo appear in the book Gypsy Fire.
