The Rosenberg Trio is formed by three cousins Nonnie (double bass), Nous’che (rhythm guitar) and Stochelo Rosenberg (solo guitar). All three have been playing music since their childhood days at family reunions, religious celebrations, and other events as their talent grew.
They were fascinated by music, taught to play by ear and practice restlessly, playing the classics over and over again. However, neither of the three can actually read nor write music.
The Rosenberg Trio plays jazz standards, Django Reinhardt’s classic compositions and also original tunes by Stochelo. Perhaps that’s why they were adopted by the legendary violin Maestro Stéphane Grappelli, who, after seeing and hearing them for the first time, immediately invited them to play with him throughout Europe, and also to celebrate his 85th birthday at New York’s Carnegie Hall.
´Tribute to Stephan Grappelli´ featuring Tim Kliphuis on violin was released in March 2008.
