Guitarist Stephane Wrembel, joins us for two house concerts for the live Chicago premiere showcasing his new album, Django L’Impressionniste. The album features 17 meditative solo works by Reinhardt influenced by Ravel and Debussy, and is the first modern recorded collection of these compositions.
Stephane is best known for writing the theme song "Bistro Fada" for the Grammy-winning soundtrack to Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar-winning film Midnight in Paris, and acclaimed for his innovative musical interpretations of Gypsy legend Django Reinhardt.
For two consecutive nights, in the intimate surroundings of the Ernest Hemingway Birthplace, join us to hear Stephane Wrembel explore the little-known “impressionist” side of the legendary musician, whose work has inspired guitarists from Andrés Segovia to Chet Atkins. The Paris-born, U.S.-based Wrembel, creator of the Django a Gogo Festival, reveals the other side of Django’s genius beyond Gypsy Jazz.
There will be an album CD sale and signing following the performance.
Seating is limited (four ticket max purchase) and advanced ticket purchase is strongly recommended.
