Yorgui Loeffler is an esteemed figure in the contemporary Gypsy jazz scene, upholding and innovating within a tradition that owes much to the legendary Django Reinhardt. Born into a family with deep musical roots in Alsace, France, Loeffler was immersed in music from a young age. He was especially drawn to the Manouche style (the Romani word for Sinti people of which Django was a part), and the guitar quickly became his instrument of choice. His innate talent and dedication to the genre have earned him recognition as one of the most talented guitarists of his generation.

With a discography that is a testament to his virtuosity and love for jazz manouche, Yorgui Loeffler has contributed significantly to the ever-evolving tapestry of Gypsy jazz. His recent releases, such as the energetic "C Jam Blues," the evocative live performance "Django et rien d'autre," and the dynamic "Bouncin’ Around," showcase his dexterity and creative flair. The album "Les Enfants De Django, Live In Paris" demonstrates his ability to capture the spirit of Django Reinhardt while also inserting his own unique nuances into the music. Through his compositions and performances, like "For Magnio," Loeffler not only pays homage to the greats of the past but also paves the way forward for the future of Gypsy jazz, firing the imagination of both dedicated fans and new listeners alike.
