Steven Reinhardt Quartet
<p>
<em>"I grew in a family of musicians. It's a tradition, generations after generations.</em></p>
<p>
<em>I started with learning piano with my father at the age of 5. Then my grand father Jim Ways taught me the basis of guitar playing, when I was 6. A few years later My uncle Angelo Debarre helped me improve my performing.</em></p>
<p>
<em>A lot of work and many concerts with great musicians, that's what took me to where I am now..."</em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
With his first album called <em>L'Esprit Manouche</em>, Steven Reinhardt proved that one can both be "classical" and "modern". While he was playing in a hyper classical trio line up, with Yannick Bouchikki (rythm guitar) and Antoine Abed (bass), he succeeded in delivering in 2014 twelve creations that were all fresher than the others! A first album quite simple but already so unique!</p>

His new band, which is a quartet with the saxophone player Alban Chapelle, is a proof that this first album was not a stroke of luck! This Steven Reinhardt really has talent.</p>
<p>
This new band provides us Gipsy Swing music, more like a classic retro American jazz. It's a real wonder to hear them, even if these frist recordings we present here have been done "on the fly", meaning in harsh conditions for the performers.</p>
<p>
Listening to Steven Reinhardt's music, it seems like you are hearing some of those great themes that became immedite universal classics! Not retro, neither modern, just magic!</p>
