Even when people smile, they have a slight shimmer of rain on their face. “Smile Like Rain” is the title song on the new CD of Markus Kaiser. Twelve instrumentals tell the tale of deep feelings, of unbelievable places and banalities, be that light and airy shopping malls, or in-your-face dull stuff from the realm of private television. “Smile Like Rain” is a little like a musica lhome port for Markus Kaiser. After 20 years of studio, jazz and rock experience, after gigs on theradio and TV, a steelstring guitar with mostly standard tunings seems to be quite enough.
