Gypsy Swing with Electricity in the Strings: Joscho Stephan live in Fürth
On Monday, December 7, 2026, the Kofferfabrik Fürth will transform into a resonance chamber for virtuoso Gypsy Jazz. Joscho Stephan presents with the Munich Connection a current trio project that combines traditional Django rhythm, modern harmony, and breathtaking guitar solo technique. The concert is sold out; possible returns may be offered at the box office.
When the Guitar Begins to Dance
Joscho Stephan is one of the defining guitarists of modern Gypsy Swing. His playing lives from an authentic tone, precise synchronization, and an extraordinary right hand. Rapid runs meet melodic lines, springy offbeats, and an orchestration that is voluminous even in a trio.
Munich Connection: three voices, a pulsing sound
For the Munich Connection, Stephan shares the stage with Raffael Müller on rhythm guitar and Julia Hornung on double bass. Müller provides a precise, driving foundation with deep roots in Gypsy Swing. Hornung combines melodic bass playing with a wide stylistic range, giving the ensemble grounding stability and smooth dynamics.
Between Tradition, Latin, and Modern Jazz Energy
The concert leads from the classical Gypsy swing vocabulary into a more open sound world. Latin influences, classical lines, and elements from pop and rock expand the language of the genre. The sound remains immediate: acoustic guitars, percussive attack, warm bass tones, and a conduction through glances, breath pauses, and spontaneous musical impulses.
A Guitarist with International Renown
Stephan's debut album Swinging Strings was chosen as CD of the Month by the music magazine Guitar Player in 1999. The productions Gypsy Meets Groove and Guitar Heroes received special recognition; for Guitar Heroes, Stephan included guests such as Bireli Lagrène and Stochelo Rosenberg. International concert tours have taken him, among others, with Martin Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel through Australia and to stages in Europe and the USA.
Live Atmosphere in the Kofferfabrik
The Kofferfabrik is a former industrial building and now a versatile cultural venue with special charm. Between concert hall, subculture, and meeting place, an immediate audience atmosphere arises in which the acoustic precision of the trio can be experienced up close. Fürth will receive an evening full of string fire, swinging grooves, and chamber music attention.
Conclusion: Joscho Stephan and the Munich Connection promise an intense concert experience between virtuoso stage performance, jazzy elegance, and pulsing Gypsy Swing. Those who grab a possible return at the box office will experience a trio that does not display tradition but rather evolves it live.
