NEWLAND RENS - CD ALGO RHYTHM

Popis - ALGO RHYTHM:
Artists' note: Algorhythm is about trying to bring colour into a grey world. music is a good instrument for that. In the most songs I use the acoustic steel string guitar to get these high shining overtones, for the rest of the tunes my crunchy electric jazzguitar. Andy Mayerl is bottoming with his wonderful, big upright bass, Wolfi Rainer is flowing and grooving with his creative drums. Rens N.
