Musicians
Larry Coryell is the guest star in this line-up, but on his own wish gets equal treatment. The Texas born string wizzard is a pioneer in the fusion genre having created a breathtaking style in which he mixes blue, bebop and rock. Coryell played with John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia, Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, Chet Baker, Sonny Rollins and the Brecker Brothers amongst others. Formerly celebrated for his uncompromising and virtuoso fusion style the legendary guitarist now indulges in the delicate development of melodies.
Helmut Kagerer is one of the most interesting guitarists in the European jazz scene. He has displayed his abilities as composer, solo player and sensitive accompanist in team works with Jimmy Cobb, Clark Terry, Red Holloway, Houston Person, Peter Bernstein or Sam Rivers. For eight years now he teaches at the renowned Vermont Jazz Center which was founded by his duo partner Attila Zoller. In 1991 Helmut Kagerer received the Kultur-Preis of Bavaria and in 2008 the Archtop Germany Award.
Paulo Morello became internationally known through his project “Bossa Nova Legends”. With Grammy winner Leny Andrade and bossa nova nestor Johnny Alf Morello guested on the most important European and South American jazz festivals. The success of this project resulted in further collaborations, f.ex. with Jimmy Smith, Roberta Gambarini, Paul Kuhn, Ivan Lins, Michael P. Mossman and André Ceccarelli. Like Helmut Kagerer Paulo teaches jazz guitar and Latin American Music on the Hochschule für Musik at Nuremberg.
Andreas Dombert is a musician with an impressive and wide-ranging capability. Having enjoyed a classical formation he established himself not only as pop musician with successes in the charts, but also as a jazzman. Within the German series „Jazz thing - Next Generation“ he surprised his listeners with a mix of traditional archtop guitar and electronica in his project „Dombert’s Urban Jazz“. Between 2002 and 2004 he played with the internationally known Bundesjugendjazzorchesters, where he worked amongst others with the prominent guitar colleague Philip Catherine.
