Mutzke

"This voice can do anything!" Mutzke has already impressively demonstrated his stylistic versatility with a successful jazz album and his last album MAX. For "Experience", which was created to accompany a fantastic concert, Mutzke and Band teamed up with the NDR Radiophilharmonie, an orchestra that is at home both in classical and pop music. It was directed by Enrique Ugarte, in whose new arrangements the chosen songs gained completely new symphonic dimensions.

"Back to Soul" ist das Motto von "Colors". Mit analogen Instrumenten und in monatelanger Detailarbeit haben Max Mutzke und seine Mitmusiker aus legendären Hip-Hop-Nummern von Superstars wie Grandmaster Flash, OK Kid, De La Soul, Warren G. oder Mary J. Blige neue, krachende Neo-Soul-Hymnen gemacht - gemischt und gemastered von Grammy-Gewinner und D'Angelo Producer Russell Elevado.

Der Trompeter von Moop Mama zeigt sich auf seinem ersten Soloalbum als Interpret eines ernsthaften und dennoch zugänglichen Jazz. „Spring“ ist Musik für die Nacht, eingespielt von einem virtuosen Quartett, u.a. mit dem international gefeierten Pianisten Pablo Held. Special Guest ist Menzels Bruder, der Pop-Sänger Max Mutzke.

Max Mutzke, who was strongly influenced by the American funk of the 70s, had his musical start as a drummer of the German funk band Project 5. Mutzke had his first solo appearance on a television program in which the finalists for the Eurovision Song Contest were presented. His song "Can not Wait Until Tonight" won.

Sax-Star Bill Evans, who recorded with Miles Davis and Mick Jagger, features Max Mutzke, Till Brönner, Nils Landgren, Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten and Jerry Douglas on “Who I Am”.

Sax-Star Bill Evans, who recorded with Miles Davis and Mick Jagger, features Max Mutzke, Till Brönner, Nils Landgren, Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten and Jerry Douglas on “Who I Am”. The 66-year-old saxophonist Bill Evans is undoubtedly one of the busiest and multifaceted musicians of his generation. He was a pivotal member of Miles Davis’ infamous comeback band in 1980 when Evans was in his early 20s, as well as with Herbie Hancock, Willie Nelson, Mick Jagger, the WDR Big Band, or the Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin, to name a few. His bands “Push”, “Big Fun“, and most recently, “Soulgrass”, all defied categories and received critical acclaim worldwide (including 2 grammy nods along the way). This enormous range is presented on his new album "Who I Am" by the man from Illinois who now lives in Nashville. The guests on this all-star production already indicate the vast range of the production: German “Masked Singer” winner Max Mutzke sings on two tracks, Till Brönner can be heard on trumpet, dobro virtuoso Jerry Douglas is there as well as banjo jazz-legend Béla Fleck. John Medeski - without Martin and Wood - and Simon Oslender can be heard on the organ, Victor Wooten and Claus Fischer play the bass, Keith Carlock and Wolfgang Haffner play drums and Swedish funk-unit-master Nils Landgren can be heard on trombone.

In 2020, Klaus Doldinger celebrates the 50th anniversary of Motherhood by interpreting some of the band's Songs in a new Sound with his current Passport line-up and thereby breathing new life into them. A real treat – not only for Motherhood and Passport Fans!
