HARRI STOJKA'S CD A TRIBUTE TO SWING RELAESED IN THE US ON ZOHO MUSIC ON AUGUST 15, 2006

Harri Stojka is a Roma Gypsy born in Vienna and raised with a guitar in his hands. His Tribute to Gypsy Guitar immediately brings to mind Django Reinhardt and his Quintet of the Hot Club of France. Stojka and his quartet, with guest violinist Eva Berky, do cover several tunes associated with Reinhardt, including “Avalon," “Nuages" and “Limehouse Blues." The album, however, is a valentine to a guitar style, not simply to Reinhardt. Among the many treats are an elegant version of Sidney Bechet's “Petite Fleur" and the delightful cover of Sammy Cahn's “Bei Mir Bist Du Scheen." Stojka is a fluent, agile guitarist with a flair for arranging and the sense to work with superb sidemen--Philip Van Vleck, Billboard Magazine

“Exceptionally attractive music, played to perfection by this fine guitarist"--Bruce Crowther, SwingToBop
