Jens Hausmann writes and sings clever songs from the heart with a more than solid musicianship there is no time where it's finished. This is vintage music: something that never goes out of style, joyful, playful made with lips & fingers. This doesn't mean being against new technical achievements, but isn't it great if it works without plugging things for half an hour? It's a much more intimate and personal thing, as life should be! So, if you're fed up with fast-food and still have an attention span longer than a few minutes stick around! ...
Jimmy Bruno:
Bruno_maaaann!" says George Benson of one of the brightest talents in the guitar firmament. And while Benson's comment may be short on detail, there's no question that it gets the point across: he's impressed, which in itself speaks volumes about Jimmy Bruno's abilities.
What makes Bruno special enough to attract the attention of someone of George Benson's stature? Simply that he plays from within the tradition of straight-ahead jazz while taking the guitar to a new technical level. When Jimmy gets revved up and begins tossing off blistering single-note runs and blindingly fast arpeggios, look out. In terms of sheer chops, he's practically untouchable in the jazz guitar world. At the same time, he's much more than just a sterile technician. He knows jazz, uses his technique for musical ends,and can play pretty and swing hard. It's a unique combination that sets him apart_and is especially evident on Live At Birdland One (CCD-4768-2)with Special Guest Bobby Watson, his latest Concord Jazz recording ...
