TRANSATLANTIC GUITAR TRIO

The fingerstyle guitar champion Richard Smith (UK), the gypsy jazz virtuoso Joscho Stephan (D) and the brilliant multi-instrumentalist Rory Hoffman (USA) have joined forces in 2019 and have already performed at numerous renowned concert series and at several well-known festivals in the USA. It is unique how they put together jazz ballads, gypsy swing standards, a pinch of pop music and groovy original compositions to create a new whole: the broad repertoire of the “Transatlantic Guitar Trio” and the newly arranged Songs by the great role models such as Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed make the CD of the 3-star guitarists an incomparable experience.
