Jimmy Rosenberg comes
from a Sinti family in Asten, in the southern Netherlands, the
son of Papi (mother) and Macky Rosenberg. He made his debut
outside the gypsy world as early as in 1989, clearly inspired
by Stochelo Rosenberg, in John Jeremy's British television documentary
Django's Legacy. There Jimmy appeared with the trio named The
Gypsy Kids, which later became Sinti.
Jimmy made his mark
as a notable guitarist early. At the age of 13 he had already
played with all of the greats, from Stochelo, Dorado, Jo Privat
and Philip Catherine to Bireli Lagrene and Stéphane Grappelli.
At the same time he made his first recording for HCR, the incredible
Jimmy's Suite.
The
subsequent year brought new record contracts for Sinti, and
concert tours to Oslo, Paris, New York, and throughout the United
States, all thanks to their mentor, Hans Meelen. Recently, Jimmy
Rosenberg has recorded with Babik Reinhardt, Hot Club de Norvège,
Romane, Bireli Lagrene, Angelo Debarre, and Frank Vignola. Still
very young, Jimmy Rosenberg is obviously one of the most promising
talents in the gypsy jazz today.
