Stephane Wrembel Ensemble
Stephane Wrembel stands as one of the world’s most celebrated guitarists. Originally from Fontainebleau, France, Wrembel is renowned for his masterful blend of jazz, gypsy swing and world music, enchanting audiences across the globe with his unique sound.
Wrembel is also a highly respected composer. His original compositions have graced the acclaimed films Midnight in Paris (“Bistro Fada”), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (“Big Brother”) and Rifkin’s Festival (original score). Midnight in Paris won the Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack at the 2012 Academy Awards, and Wrembel was handpicked by renowned composer Hans Zimmer to join his all-star band, performing alongside luminaries like Esperanza Spalding, Pharrell and Shelia E.
With an already impressive discography of 19 albums released under his name and the pseudonym, The Django Experiment, Wrembel recently released a triptych—three CDs, entitled Phase 1, 2 and 3, recorded with his band and Canadian improvisational pianist Jean-Michel Pilc. Released in April 2024, the triptych has received glowing press in Downbeat, Guitar Player Magazine, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, New York Jazz Record and more. Wrembel’s collaborations with other top musicians, such as mandolinist David Grisman and Grammy-nominated guitarist Raul Midon, highlight his remarkable versatility.
