Stochelo Rosenberg & Hermine Deurloo

Rosenberg Trio-guitarist meets harmonica phenomenon at leading jazz manouche festival. The new edition of Django Amsterdam opens with a super quintet that combines classic jazz manouche with lurical harmonica playing. Hermine Deurloo, known as the ‘queen of harmonica’, adds a nostalgic, emotionally rich dimension to the unrivalled guitar playing of Stochelo Rosenberg. The famous leader of the Rosenberg Trio delivers original compositions alongside standards and Django Reinhardt-classics. These come to life with stunning solos and swinging latin influences. Django Amsterdam is dedicated to the birthday of guitar legend Django Reinhardt, the originator of gypsy jazz or swing manouche. This style of acoustic swing jazz became part of the Roma and Sinti culture thanks to Django, who’s generally considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time. For four days the concerts on our stage will be complemented with sessions and performances at the café. The house band is the trio of guitarist Tessa Spaaij, known for her melodic and expressive style. Each evening she will set the tone with an introductory performance and lead the session after the concert.
