Michael Sagmeister - Here And Now

Wanting to introduce the guitarist Michael Sagmeister is something like trying to carry coals to Newcastle. After all, like hardly anyone else, Sagmeister contributed to the Renaissance of the jazz guitar - and perhaps to all of jazz - in Germany at the beginning of the Eighties. In his production “Here and Now“ the Frankfurt native presents himself from his best acoustic sides - melodic, lyrical, rich in moods, and always technically beyond all doubt. The very special fascination of this production is based on the extraordinarily fortunate matching with Dave Samuels, who with good reason must be considered one of the most important contemporary mallet-players. On Here and Now, Sagmeister and Samuels achieve such an emphatic musical eloquence that even after listening just once, there is the temptation of asking for the continuation of this project as soon as possible.
