Götz Alsmann is in the Alte Oper Frankfurt neither angels nor devils, but once again a brilliant entertainer of the highest standard.
Actually he wants but does not know whether he or angels but rather more of a devil. But because he believes in various hells for different occupational groups, is idol Alsmann hell
not really want. In the devilish Department of jazz musicians namely, he has probably play together with all the greats of his profession and would get taken by none other than Count Basie the notes. But he would have to play "Schnappi, the small Crocodile. With "Angel or Devil" Alsmann is back with a new program in Frankfurt and his three companions rhythm, melody and text in the Luggage.
Its still the finest strength lies in the varied arrangements that represent not only
accompanying sounds for the star at the center. Three percussionists, he has gathered around him, each one an absolute individualist with a particular penchant for the team. Altfried Maria Sicking vierklöppelig swirls around between vibration and xylophone, and also pointed lips for muted trumpet solos, Rudi Marhold runs on drums, probably as some tendonitis and Markus Paßlick always discover again accompanied by new exotic percussion toys to each track a very unique atmosphere swab. Michael Müller Ottomar controls finally in the red bass thread.
Alsmann is himself a master of mimicry and the key combinations. As he casually tapping chords, sweeps his eyes around searching, sometimes he makes a face to the boyish grimace or raises his eyebrows half a millimeter. Musically, there are between good-time dances to melancholy beautiful love sighs all
Alsmann-Schlager-jazz repertoire. Gooseflesh breaking is his "ghost rider" does not deutschtümelnd his love song to all the Germanic female names you can put in a song.
