Simba Baumgartner and Aurore. Simba is Django Reinhardt great grandson.

Grammy winner Stephane Wrembel was just amazing and so was Simba Baumgartner who joined him from France, and who continues Reinhardt's legacy. The 2 hour concert (no intermission) seemed to be actually short. 'Ochi Chornyie' was the final selection and was going, like most of the other tunes, many directions, tempos, and rhythms. All the way to stratosphere and back.

The NYC and French band featured Stephane Wrembel and Josh Kaye on guitars, Ari Folman Cohen on bass and Nick Anderson on drums, Simba Baumgartner on guitar (Django Reinhardt’s great grandson), and Aurore Voilqué on violin. Each of them a bright star on jazz sky. Baumgartner is a regular at “Taverne de Cluny Monk”, in Paris. I love all the great guitar players we have in Toronto. Some of the best were actually in the audience at this concert.
