Michael Sagmeister - Soul Ticket

“Soul Ticket” not only reveals the lyrical sides of the German star jazz guitarist Michael Sagmeister, but also harks back to his roots in blues, rock and soul. Together with the German-Mexican vocalist Britta Medeiros and his band, Sagmeister has recorded an album located somewhere between soul, pop and fusion that will certainly bring him a harvest of new fans. His virtuosic guitar-playing technique always serves the songs, yet he doesn’t pass up grandiose solos. With six of his own compositions, Sagmeister once again proves his mettle as a songsmith in the soul, funk, jazz and modern fusion realm. The second part of the album consists of well-crafted cover versions of, amongst others, Al Jarreau, Jose Feliciano, or Wes Montgomery. “Soul Ticket” s a production filled with soul and will appeal to both fans of high-quality instrumental music, as well as the connoisseurs of the classic soul-pop repertoire.
