The Rosenberg Trio
Jack in the Netherlands writes:
The Rosenberg Trio consists of Stochelo Rosenberg (lead guitar), & his cousins Nous’che (rhythym guitar) & Nonnie (acoustic bass). They are Gypsies who live in the Netherlands. The first YouTube clip shows the Trio playing the Duke Ellington/Juan Tizol tune, “Caravan”; the second shows Stochelo playing the same tune at the same break-neck, breath-taking speed, but with different improvisations. Only Stochelo & the rhythym guitarist are shown; whoever the latter is, it’s not his cousin Nous’che. None of the 3 Rosenbergs can read a note of music. There are several other clips of the Rosenbergs available on YouTube. I have seen them play in person 4 times.
