Yes, Yves Brouqui is French and a phenomenal guitarist/composer and this is his SteepleChase debut album, but no, this is not of French Gypsy tradition. He is out of pure American modern jazz vein with a touch of French elegance. He commutes between Paris and NYC performing and recording.

"A warm jazz full of swing. His inspired and fast guitar interprets with assurance and sensitivity. We will savour the creative breath of his improvisations...highly recommended." - Claude Olberg - Jazz Magazine
