Some interesting David Grisman mandolin recordings brought to our attention playing with Stephane Wrembel, one of the headliners at the North Hampton Django in June, courtesy of festival director, Andrew Lawrence.

Wremble was raised in Fontainebleau, France, just down the road from Samois-sur-Seine, where the largest of the international Django festivals is held every year. Now a resident of New York City, the man is a regional treasure for everyone with an interest in Gypsy Jazz. A player of tremendous technical ability and deep, ever-evolving artistic vision, Stephane toured and recorded Gypsy Rumble this year with acoustic music luminary and mandolin innovator David Grisman.
