JAZZ MANOUCHE: In the Style of Stochelo Rosenberg DVD (All regions)
NTSC DVD — All Regions
In 1989, The Rosenberg Trio released
“Seresta”, a ground breaking album which served notice to the world
that a new master of the jazz manouche guitar style had arrived. By
mixing the music of Django Reinhardt with bebop, traditional gypsy
waltzes, Latin jazz and many other influences, Stochelo and his band
mates created a uniquely personal style of jazz manouche.
Over
the years, Stochelo has refined his technique to a highly efficient
level. His speed is breath-taking to behold. Notes explode from his
guitar. His ability to articulate notes cleanly adds to the illusion of
speed. His vibrato is supple and his sense of time is impeccable.
Watching Stochelo play helps the viewer to understand what is possible
when technique is subservient to the music.
Over 3 hrs of Instruction!
Topics covered include:
Producer
Denis Chang’s concept for the “In the Style of…” series is well-suited
for illustrating the basics, as well as, the finer points of the
“Stochelo Rosenberg” style. The DVD is divided into two parts. In “The
Songs”, Stochelo is accompanied by Denis as they demonstrate Stochelo’s
style at slow, medium and fast tempos on 35 songs, in the Django style.
The songs were selected to demonstrate all of the common chord changes
in the contemporary jazz manouche repertoire.
The
second section is divided into two parts. “Rhythm Overview” is where
Stochelo gives valuable insight into his approach to rhythm playing.
Stochelo demonstrates good and bad rhythm as well as his approach to
bossa, rumba, waltz, rumba-waltz and bolero rhythms. Proper chord
shapes and sequences are shown for four songs. Finally in “Lead
Guitar”, Stochelo deals with vibrato and right-hand technique before
explaining his personal technique. He then clearly demonstrates 29
phrases and 2 endings. All phrases are initially played at tempo and
are then clearly demonstrated for the viewer.
This
DVD follows the traditional gypsy method of instruction. No tab is
provided and students are encouraged to learn by watching and
repeating. Alternate close-up angles are provided for more in-depth
analysis. Careful placement of chapter markers allows the viewer to
repeat phrases precisely. The total running time for the DVD is over 3
hours.
