Great interview, thanks Mitch. Is this gonna be regular like a series interviewing all of the Paris based players to compare their philosophies on playing, practicing etc...That would be cool!! Thanks again.

Thanks Micky, hopefully there'll be more interviews but I can't tell yet if it will be regular or not.
Thanks everyone for appreciating, Sébastien deserves it!
Great interview and post. I had the pleasure of meeting Sebastien while he was on a break at L'Atelier Charonne in Paris. He was playing a 335 style (Aria?) with a trio and just killing it. I have some on video. He is a warm and genuine musician. Look forward to seeing him again next year.
Great interview! I have a question. Does he have any gypsy jazz albums out? I have the one he has out on band camp and there's the African variations album but I can't find a gypsy jazz one? Maybe (if there is one) it's only available in France?
Most likely he doesnt consider himself a gypsy jazz guitarist: he is an artist with Django being one of his influences. He had sent me his discography a few months or so ago and from the start he was collaborating with a variety of musicians in different styles. You can always hear his color, his personnality but it is not only gypsy jazz.
The current projects he is involved in, based on his fb feed are concerts in duo with Paloma Pradal, the disc with Cherif Soumano, concerts and disc with Mathias Levy and Jean Philippe Viret, a few concerts with his balkan electric project and a job that is over for some time now but finally to be released, arrangements for the disc of Norig.
The closest thing to gypsy jazz would be the disc of Matthias Levy but it is more jazz than gypsy jazz

Not sure about his own albums but his playing is featured on the Selmer#607 albums
