Bassist, composer and arranger Olivier Holland has again joined forces with Joscho Stephan to produce an album that pushes stylistic boundaries. Gypsy meets Groove skilfully combines Gypsy Jazz with elements from groove-based music such as Funk, Soul or Reggae. Here is more than just playing jazz tunes with a different feel. On GMG, modern arranging techniques have been skilfully employed to blend different musical elements into an innovative work-of art. Gypsy meets Groove marks a mile-stone with regard to stylistic development. A ‘must’ for both Gypsy Jazz- and more groove-hungry listeners.

Two virtuosos of the strings sought and found each other: On the one hand, the master guitarist from Mönchengladbach, Joscho Stephan, on the other, the German-New-Zealander double bass player Olivier Holland. Ever since the 1990s, the paths of these two exceptional musicians have crossed in joint projects. The two artists always find new ideas and inspiration for their playing, which gave riseto a collaborative studio effort, where the two artists bundled their creative energies to form an exciting fusion style that also gave the album its title: "Gypsy Meets Jazz". The two musicians are joined by Stephan's father Günter on rhythm guitar, bass Max Schaaf, violinist Sebastian Reimann and percussionist Thomas Kukulies. Together they create a fascinating musical kaleidoscope with compositions by the two string virtuosos themselves and refreshingly interpreted classics by Bireli Lagrène and Charlie Parker, Chick Corea and Django Reinhardt. "Gypsy Meets Jazz" shows two brilliant trailblazers engaging in an extremely creative and highly entertaining excursion that enriches both genres in a fascinating manner.  http://www.joscho-stephan.de/en/music
