Histoires sans mots - the brand new CD by Jacques Stotzem
Stories without words
Jacques Stotzem's 18th album is entitled "Histoires sans mots". Jacques' tried-and-tested playing technique, his melodic fingerpicking, lets the strings of his instrument take the place of the voice to make "stories without words" resound in 10 decidedly lyrical original compositions.
Anecdotes that radiate serenity, perhaps also a little nostalgia, but which always express the boundless joy of playing that has distinguished him for many years.

Lex van Amsterdam: All Strings Attached
New CD
The tracks on Lex van Amsterdam's debut album „All Strings Attached“ have a long history: The origin of several songs go back to the 1980's. Over the span of several decades, van Amsterdam perfected his acoustic guitar music, which is as cinematic as it is bluesy, and as mysterious as it is complex.
Within eight tracks, „All Strings Attached“ leads the listener through a wide variety of styles: from the spring-like, optimistic Right Here to the cinematic title track. It makes „All Strings Attached“ a rich debut by a virtuoso guitarist: An impressive life's work that he continued to tinker on until the last phase of his life.
Ahmed El-Salamouny: Rio Rhythms
Brazilian Guitar
In his album, “Rio Rhythms”, Ahmed El-Salamouny, the specialist for Brazilian guitar music, lets listeners experience the magic of Brazil. The seventeen pieces on the CD are an exciting mixture of Brazilian rhythms delivered in a manner that is at times poetic and dreamy and at times highly virtuosic.
It’s musical pleasure of the highest order.
Gregor Hilden Organ Trio: Vintage Wax
Available on CD - and on Vinyle!
The late 1950s/early 60s were the golden era of organ trios, when virtuosos such as Jimmy Smith or Larry Young and earthy, blues-based Hammond masters such as Brother Jack McDuff or Big John Patton recorded legendary albums and rocked smoky clubs with guitarists such as Kenny Burrell or Grant Green.
The Gregor Hilden Organ Trio celebrates those times on their vintage instruments – on the present album with original compositions in the old style such as the title song “Vintage Wax”, as well as a classic of the genre, Jimmy McGriff’s “All About My Girl”
Konstantin Vassiliev: Cuban masterpieces arranged for guitar
Music Score & CD
Cuban music took shape as an engaging blend of different cultures. Though rooted in European traditions that arrived on the islands with its settlers, the inclusion of impulsive African rhythms ultimately formed an unmistakable Afro-Cuban style.
All the pieces included here should be very approachable by intermediate guitarists.
Viviane Kudo: Blue Companion
If you love this duo's subtly intense and pleasantly unpretentious songs, you will also appreciate the new album "Blue Companion".
Viviane Kudo and her guitarist Jo Schultz are back again!
"It is this voice of the German-Japanese artist, and it grabs you, goes under your skin and right into the heart!" writes Jens Hausmann in AKUSTIK GITARRE about Viviane Kudo. This is especially true for "Blue Companion"!
Nathsja van Rosse: Loving Urgency
Dutch classical guitar virtuoso Nathasja van Rosse is back in search of the golden tone, after having to take a break due to a serious injury. This fresh restart also allows for recently discovered new ways to express her own creativity through composing for classical guitar and writing poetry, channelling deep emotions during lockdown into four original compositions.
Naturally according to its title this album is particularly inspired by warmth, love and poetry.
