Dearest friends of Jimmy Rosenberg,

The website of Jimmy Rosenberg has been for a long time stuck in a traffic jam, waiting for the green light. Jimmy is not working. At present, Jimmy is officially under care, which at the very least means that he is safe, and under supervision. We last met Jimmy in July 2009, and talked about his wish to clean up and other plans for the future. Since we have been speaking on the telephone.

You, friends and fans of his music, should collect together. Form yourselves into a collective in the sake of Jimmy Rosenberg. Jimmy needs all the energy and love that you have to offer to him in support of his music and his life. In the world today, there is almost nobody who can claim to equality with Jimmy. Your input to bring light to his darkness is most important. Please talk amongst yourselves, and talk with others. Form an association. Write some tenets. We especially call on you fellow musicians.

Do you want to take part in a positive collective of musicians around Jimmy, for him to jam and share thoughts with? Here's your opportunity: introduce yourself by mailing to collectief@jimmyrosenberg.nl
Don't send music files, but do send the internet address of your website! And do not forget to leave your contact details.

Anthony Williams

Première IdtV Jimmy Rosenberg, The Father, the Son & the Talent documentary and concert by Jimmy Rosenberg & Friends in Paradiso

Amsterdam, March 5th 2007. The evening in Paradiso began with the première of the IdtV documentary by Jeroen Berkvens, Jimmy Rosenberg, The Father, the Son & the Talent. The film documents the life of Jimmy in his darkest hours and sets the scene for his revival which came with the concert.



Jimmy played to a packed and very responsive audience. A selection of favorite tunes was warmly applauded and he closed the concert with a Django Reinhardt solo piece entitled Improvisation. Jimmy is one of only two players in the world today who have mastered the technicalities of this most difficult piece.

About

Jimmy Rosenberg comes from a Sinti (Gypsy) family and was born 10th. April 1980 in Helmond, in the southern region of The Netherlands. Jimmy played on stage with Stéphane Grappelli, James Brown, Les Paul, Biréli Lagrène, Willy Nelson, Eric Clapton, Stochelo Rosenberg (his cousin) and many others. Jimmy is known and respected by musicians worldwide. Cover of DVD Django Legacy.

Jimmy made his debut outside the Gypsy world as early as 1989 at the age of nine years in John Jeremy's British television documentary Django Legacy. In this documentary, Jimmy appeared with the trio named The Gipsy Kids, with Falko Reinhardt and Sani van Mullum.

In 1991 Jimmy appeared for the first time on Dutch television, and he played at the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois sur Seine, France. He also played a duet with Stéphane Grappelli in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. It became clear that Jimmy was a world phenomena. Playing with the greatest living musicians in the genre as their equal.

In 1992 The Gipsy Kids did their first CD recording, entitled Safari, in June/July in Studio 88 in Hilversum in the Netherlands.

In 1993 Jimmy played at the Django Festivals in Oslo in Norway, and again in Samois sur Seine. He did his first recordings with Hot Club de Norvège i.e. Hot Club Records, entitled The Incredible Jimmy Suite. Jimmy did concerts with Biréli Lagrène, Stochelo Rosenberg, Angelo Debarre, Philip Catherine and many others.

Concert Bimhuis to promote DVD Jimmy Rosenberg is Back

Amsterdam, July 27th 2007. The concert that has been waited for at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, took place to rapturous applause, and was the outstanding Gypsy jazz music event of the year in Holland. Jimmy was in absolutely top form, and played both archtop and acoustic guitars to a level of beauty and technical skill that will not be matched by any guitar player in the world presently. He is finding new things within his music, and the power of his re-creation is beginning to emerge, with rhythmic and dynamic changes already happening.

He added Marc Meader on snare drum and brushes, to his lineup for the event, and with Nomy his brother playing rhythm guitar, Arnoud van den Berg on bass, Jimmy showed that he has moved into the style of Django Reinhardt's post war performances. Jimmy's electric guitar playing was glittering with new ideas, and renewed confidence. He now plays like a man driven by new and creative energy, which drags the audience to the front of their seats, and takes them on a roller coaster of music, through swoops and curves in the most exciting journey of the imagination. Jimmy charms the audience like a magician, and makes every note mean something important to every listener.

The concert at the Bimhuis was expected to be a sell out, and lived up its promise, with no seats spare, and all crowding around the podium, or sitting impatiently in anticipation. The Basily Boys came along to show how the Basily name and musical culture is still one of the great voices in Gypsy jazz music. The boys played a short set to open the proceedings. Robin Nolan did a set to thunderous applause, and proved to all the audience, that he is the only non Gypsy guitarist to command the respect of being a brother to them. The Basily Boys, to everyones delight came back at the close, to jam on stage to the tune of Joseph, Joseph. The finale was a ten musician lineup, which included the great violinist Tucsi Basily, and Robin Nolan, on electric acoustic guitar.

To those that were in the Bimhuis, thank you all, and to those who wish to send messages, please do so.

The entire Bimhuis concert is issued on DVD entitled, Jimmy Rosenberg at the Bimhuis (JRP2) and released on wednesday January 16th 2008.
