Joscho Stephan (born 1979 in Mönchengladbach, Germany) is a German Jazz guitarist who mainly plays modern Gypsy jazz. He began playing the guitar at the age of six, when influenced by his father who had been a member of a local cover band.[1] He is particularly noted for his virtuosity on the acoustic guitar in the style of Gypsy jazz.

His debut album was named CD of the month by the American Guitar Player magazine in July 2000.[2] In May 2004 the Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote that Joscho Stephan represented the future of the Gypsy jazz guitar tradition.[3]

Joscho also shares his musical knowledge in both German and English by way of online video lessons at http://www.GypsyGuitarAcademy.com.
