Stochelo, Rocky and William Brunard - Django Tribute Recording
Noto
✭
Stochelo Rosenberg, Rocky Gresset and William Brunard - Django Tribute Recording is on Spotify.
Comments
Thanks for the heads up! It took me a while to find this...The title is actually "Django Celebration #01."
I don't use Spotify, but I'm happy to report it's available on Qobuz.

It's on Deezer as well. I just searched for "Rocky Gresset". He has so few albums out there that only a small handful come up. Live album (lucky audience), super well recorded. I thought it was a studio recording before I heard the first applause. Rocky plays a nylon string, it's a nice contrast to Stochelo's sound. Hopefully there's more like this coming if they titled it #1.
... and Youtube:
Very fresh sounding For Sephora. Rocky's comping sounds wonderful. I should figure out what's he doing...
It's basically William's brainchild and he's planning on recording several more follow-up albums, according to this info
Does anyone know who's Strange Eyes composer?
Coming soon: #02 with Tchavolo Schmitt / Fanou Torracinta / William Brunard, to be released on 21 November 2025.
Does anyone know who's Strange Eyes composer?
Composer: Stochelo Rosenberg
That's a cool pairing, classic meets modern. It seems too soon for the next release though. Didn't #1 just get released?
Thanks @BillDaCostaWilliams It's a great song, I'm surprised it's not performed more. I mean, not an easy tune to play but all the top guys can. While you can hear its influences, it has its own voice, I really like it. Even when you use "strange eyes gypsy jazz" as the search term, except for one video from 12 years ago when Mozes played, nothing shows up.
An interesting thing that comes up when you search for the name of the album, Target and Barnes and Noble come up as the options to order a CD and vinyl.
There is some gig footage from sunset sunside up too. Made For Isaac and then Webster.
I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but I don't enjoy this album much. Nylon string sounds corny and that style of comping just reminds me too much of muzak. Looking forward to #02 with Fanou and Tchavolo, surely that will swing hard 😏
The classic meets modern is the whole point of the project. Here's the full description from their actual channel, where I got the info above. They have 2 performance videos: Webster & For Sephora. Looks like the same performance that Wim linked above.
======
"Django Reinhardt" celebrates the legacy of Django Reinhardt through a series of inter-generational encounters between a recognised exponent of the music and a rising or established musician from the new generation. Label Ouest and the well-known Parisian jazz club, Sunset-Sunside, have therefore joined forces inviting the crème de la crème of gypsy guitar music to participate, irrespective of their generations.
