Stéphane Wrembel Quartet

Since his debut in 2002, Stéphane Wrembel has established himself as one of the most distinctive and original guitar voices in contemporary music. Born in Paris, Wrembel’s music draws from his classical foundation, youthful immersion in the rock music of Pink Floyd, and a deep pull toward the impressionist feel of legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt. Wrembel is celebrated worldwide for his virtuosity and emotional range. His live performances span Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Lyon Opera House in France, The Monterey Jazz Festival, and tours across Canada, France, Israel, the UK, India, and Nigeria. He has collaborated with musical luminaries including Jean-Michel Pilc, Sam Bush, Stochelo Rosenberg, Esperanza Spalding, and Al Di Meola.

 

In 2002, he graduated summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music. He released his debut album the same year, which was hailed by Vintage Guitar Magazine as “pure dazzle and dash.” With more than 20 albums to date, he has earned acclaim from DownBeat, JazzTimes, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Guitar World, The New York City Jazz Record, and more.

In 2003, Wrembel founded Django à Gogo, an annual music festival and guitar camp celebrating the art, culture, and evolution of Sinti-inspired guitar. Wrembel’s global breakthrough came with his composition “Bistro Fada,” the theme for Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar®-winning film, Midnight in Paris. His most recent album, Django New Orleans II: Hors-Série (November 2025) continues his fresh interpretations of timeless classics alongside two new original compositions, including Wrembel’s vocal debut. Today, Stéphane Wrembel is recognized as one of the world’s preeminent guitarists and composers.
