Most of his life Nomy Rosenberg played music to serve his older brother, the infamous Jimmy Rosenberg. As a rhythm guitarist, Nomy has already an incomparable reputation and can be shared among the best. Now, as a band leader, Nomy proves he's got it all: the talent, the big sound and the virtuoso craftsmanship to become a master on the guitar. A true pleasure to see and hear him play.

Jimmy Rosenberg
Jimmy Rosenberg is beyond doubt one of the greatest contemporary gypsy guitar players around. He is a phenomenal improviser who combines out of this world technique with intense feeling for the music. Born in 1980 he was already in full swing at the age of nine and had shared the stage with such legends as James Brown, Eric Clapton, Les Paul, George Benson and Stephane Grapelli by the time he was fifteen. After a dark period in his life, Jimmy is now working hard on his come back. Besides the afore mentioned Bimhuis gig, Arnoud is thankful and proud to have supported Jimmy at Amsterdam's prime venue Paradiso following the premiere of the breathtaking documentary film on Jimmy's turbulent life: Jimmy Rosenberg, the Father, the Son & the Talent.

".. He played one set, left the audience at the
jam-packed Bimhuis in amazement. What this man was
doing on his guitar, was in fact not possible. It was
pure magic."

"..The whole concert is improvised. Rosenberg calls his
accompanists 'Friends', but he only met bassplayer
Arnoud van den Berg just a few hours before: he
doesn't even know his last name."

About DVD's
Jimmy Rosenberg is Back
&
Jimmy Rosenberg at the Bimhuis:
".. The mere fact that the DVD's exist is superb. You
never know when, or in which state, you can hear the
guitarist perform. And Jimmy Rosenberg is not just one
of the most virtuoso guitarists, he has the talent to
grab you by the throat when he plays. During the
restless concert at the Bimhuis you have to wait a bit
for that to happen. But during the concert in Paradiso
- when the presure seemed to be less - it spouts out.
From the verry first note everything is a pitiless
strike. What a musician."
Koen Schouten, De Volkskrant
