Klaus Wagenleiter, Matthias Buck, Jan Jankeje, Werner Braun , featuring Bireli Lagrene - Zum Trotz

Review by Vanessa Proença

Zum Trotz is an exceptional album featuring the musical talents of Klaus Wagenleiter, Matthias Buck, Jan Jankeje, Werner Braun, and Bireli Lagrene. The album is a mix of jazz and fusion, with each musician bringing their unique style to the table. Bireli Lagrene's guitar playing is particularly outstanding, adding a layer of complexity and depth to the music.

The album opens with "Zum Trotz," a dynamic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. "Funky Fingers" is another standout track, with its infectious beat and intricate guitar work. "Kopfsprung" is a more introspective track, with a haunting melody that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.

Summary by Vanessa Proença

Zum Trotz is a must-listen for any fan of jazz or fusion music. The musicianship on display is truly impressive, and the album as a whole is a testament to the power of collaboration and musical creativity. Highly recommended.
