Sam Opstaele is a Belgian jazz guitarist mainly active in the (gypsy) swing world.

​

He got to know the guitar around the age of 16 and as a self-taught young talent he made his way to the jazz scene, after which he enjoyed a few lessons with Tcha Limberger and Seppe Van Tilborg, among others.

​

From there he built up stage experience as rhythm guitarist in the band Nomad Swing with Koen De Cauter who then introduced him as a soloist in the band LAMORAL quartet.

​

His playing can be described as refined towards classical swing jazz with a great urge for innovation.

~ LAMORAL quartet
