The Rosenberg Trio - Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1993


The Rosenberg Trio - Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1993
Label: Polydor/UMVD

Jazz

The Rosenberg Trio continues the tradition of the Gypsy swing of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, though in a stripped-down format consisting of lead guitar (Stochelo Rosenberg), rhythm guitar (Nous'che Rosenberg), and bass (Nonnie Rosenberg). While the trio successfully delves into the 1930s repertoire of Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, including a vigorous workout of their "Minor Swing" and a lyrical setting of "Nuages," along with swing tunes from the era, they are very open to other styles. Their rapid-fire take of Sonny Rollins' "Pent-Up House" (a favorite of Grappelli during the 1970s) and an engaging take of Kenny Dorham's "Blue Bossa" demonstrate their ability to convert bop vehicles into Gypsy swing, something they accomplish equally well with the music of Chick Corea. While the Rosenberg Trio gained some international exposure by appearing on a CD with Grappelli late in his career, this exciting live disc is additional proof that they deserve greater worldwide exposure, especially outside of Europe.
