In the center of the improvisation

Volker Kriegel has perhaps made in Germany even with our neighbors jazz as jazz-rock popular and a wide audience. Greats like Eberhard Weber, John Marshall, Heinz Sauer. Albert Mangelsdorff and many more. have helped him and are themselves internationally reaches high esteem. Volker Kriegel was a guitarist who was quick and had its own sound. But his legs were repeated extensively and the harmonies were ansich unconvincing even often somewhat arbitrary. He often played only with 2 fingers instead of all fours. Comparisons with Pat Metheny or John Abercrombie, Jim Hall. John McLaughlin or John Scofield are therefore actually missed. What he could: by simple means to conjure truly amazing music and their own way to go. The DVD shows very clearly how little arrogant, casual but at the same time is concentrated here good music is delivered. The focus is on improvisation. This is also according to today's standards not bad succeeded.
