"........un
musicien attachant qui manie la guitare avec
beaucoup d'émotion.............
musicien touchant "
Jazz Chroniques & Coups de Coeur (2007)
".............an absolutely wonderful CD, .............Talk about someone who walks the talk.........all of his original works have a delicate, poetic sound that makes great use of full chords in the spirit of Wes and Joe Pass..........."
JazzWax.com (2007)
“……..What stays is the language and the sound: with a barely electrified Gibson L5 in hand, De Stefano plays warm, ringing lines……… the music is fluid, articulate and a pleasure to listen to.”
La Scena (2009)
“Well-known in the Montreal jazz scene……..De Stefano
likes to work with his musicians and shares his ten
compositions with intelligence, sensitivity and
lenghty well-structured solos.
A great gift and an
inspiration for aspiring guitarists.”
« Figure bien connue du jazz montréalais ……..De Stefano partage ses compositions; dix en tout avec intelligence, sensibilité et longues improvisations bien structurées. Un joli cadeau qui pourra donner un sérieux coup de pouce aux aspirants guitaristes. »
