It is an inspiring experience to listen to Adam Levy’s soulful and musical playing and it is as inspiring to talk to him. I first found out about Adam’s work a couple of years ago when I listened to „Come away with me“ by Norah Jones, asking myself who played this beautiful guitar solo.

Im Gespräch mit: Tamir Barzilay
I knew Tamir from his work with Tal Wilkenfeld, Macy Gray and the Scary Pockets. And I love the sound of his own music. (“Departures”, 2019) Plenty of reasons to ask him if he would meet me for an interview. He did. In his studio in Los Angeles. „Im Gespräch mit: Tamir Barzilay“ weiterlesen

Soundcheck: Tom Waits – Big in Japan

Soundcheck: „Wish you were here“
Sigi Mittermayr und ich haben uns vorgenommen, öfter gemeinsam Musik zu machen: ohne Click und ohne Schnitte, weil diese unmittelbare Art zu spielen uns beiden am meisten Freude macht.
