With the CDs “Dialogues” and “Tangos & Canciones,” guitarist Johannes Tonio Kreusch and violinist Doris Orsan revived the rarely heard duo of violin and guitar. While the spectrum there ranged from classical romanticism to the Caribbean musical cosmos to modern music, they initially concentrate on Argentinian sound worlds in their new throw “Libertango”. For a good reason: the album not only celebrates their pas-sion for this music, it is based above all on the many friendships they have cultivated with musicians from this field.

Groove and fresh timbres from Jazz Guitar, Fender Rhodes Piano, Bass and Drums.

Already the title-giving play on words “Brazilian Blues” breaks with relish with hardened-traditional ways of looking at what Brazilian music is and what the blues may be. Knowing full well how juvenile-moving the essence of music constantly seeks new points of contact and forms of expression, Stefan Koschitzki and Fabiano Pereira bypass all phrase-mongering on their new album “Brazilian Blues Vol. II”. The two musicians, arrangers and composers see their project “Brazilian Blues” as a vehicle for the constant expansion of their collective musical language. It is about respectable things throughout: searching and finding new attitudes and current perspectives on traditional music styles such as blues and bossa nova. Of course, you have to understand the subtle nuances of both styles first…
