SWING IS IN!
SINATRA TRIBUTE BAND & MAX NEISSENDORFER
AVAILABILITY: All Year
The Sinatra Tribute Band bows for the life work of „Ol ‚Blue Eyes“.
Joy and fun of swinging arrangements were in the foreground. The arrangements are sometimes leaning against the original recordings, others are completely new and unexpected. The arrangers have it done all the work and the standards in color, varied and adapted for the band perfectly designed.
With Max Neissendorfer the Sinatra Tribute Band has a first-class singer on board.
His melodious voice and the almost acrobatic scat solos are unique.

Travel with the SOUL TRAIN through the USA of the 60s, 70s and 80s
Do you remember the time when Neal Armstrong landed on the moon, when Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights movement in Memphis, when Muhammad Ali had George Foreman on the ropes at the “Rumble in the Jungle” in Africa (1974), when Jimmy Carter was President of the USA and the Cold War divided the world? That time saw the birth of a musical style played by blacks and whites together, called “SOUL”.

THE “TRANSGLOBAL” ALPINE JAZZ
KERBERBROTHERS ALPENFUSION
AVAILABILITY: All Year
Alpine Fusion is created from a transglobal mix of authentic alpine sounds and ethno underground. Infectious rythms are combined with alphorn and Scherrzither, comtemporary jazz groove with yodel, zither and dulcimer.
The harmonic energy and the delight in playing, which are a characterisic feature of Bavarian folk music, are adopted in the alpine jazz. Both attain a new meaning because of the great variety of instruments and musical styles.
 
“Jazz groove with yodel and zither – alphornblues and roundhouse blows on the dulcimer – regional – global – terrific!
The CD: “…probably the first album to be taken seriously by fans of ethno jazz.” BR
