On September 18, 2012 Gypsy Swing guitarist Joscho Stephan sat in with Colorado Jazz group Swing Je T'aime at the Rialto Theater in Loveland, Colorado. The resulting performance was one that left us speechless and in awe of the mastery displayed by not only Joscho, but also by the members of Swing Je T'aime. Enjoy their rendition of Luiz Bonfá's famous jazz standard, "Black Orpheus," the third song performed during their first set.

Just 20 years old when he released his first CD on the highly regarded label Acoustic Music Records, his name was already known to insiders as a force to be reckoned with on the acoustic guitar. His debut was named CD of the month by the American magazine Guitar Player and critics waxed eloquent about this virtuoso young musician working in the swing tradition of Django Reinhardt. This authentic European jazz form with its charming mixture of joyous enthusiasm and relaxed coolness offers the ideal platform for Joscho Stephan's remarkable technical abilities. This fact is underlined by the high level of attention accorded to his CD releases.
