This is a first small excerpt from my new album "CIRCLE" (will be released in a few weeks ...). The song is called "Now".
I have actually known Thomas for over 20 years now. He was one of my teachers at the Future Music School in Aschaffenburg, where I spent a year trying to learn the basics of jazz piano.
Thomas was teaching harmony theory at the time. A subject that is not necessarily entertaining, but with him it was. I listened to his album "Kalalak" from 1999 with great enthusiasm - as he succeeded in a great fusion of different genres, which united two things - strong melodies and musical moods.
We have stayed in touch over the years and the first musical collaboration came with Tiemo Hauer's first two albums, for which we brought Thomas to Bauer Studios.
On "As you are" he recorded for me for the first time and his guitar work on the title track still inspires me (we both openly show our admiration for Pink Floyd). And "Summer" got a whole new funky level through him.
On "Circle" Thomas is now involved in three songs and underlines his enormous versatility, which I appreciate so much about him.
Thank you very much for letting me turn your living room into a little recording studio again!
