DOUWE EISENGA MAAKT BEZWEREND ALBUM

 ‘bezwerend, meeslepend, gevarieerd en contrastrijk’
 
In deze termen beschreef de Nederlandse pers in 2021 de muziek van de muziektheaterproductie Grenspaal 369. “De muziek van componist Douwe Eisenga, vol weemoedige blazers en felle percussie, stuwt de voorstelling energiek voort”.
Gedurende de tweede lockdown herschreef Douwe de muziek voor het nieuwe album The Border. De tien instrumentale nummers, losgeweekt van de oorspronkelijke voorstelling, vormen samen een schilderij van klank. Bezwerend en meeslepend, gevarieerd en contrastrijk.

Release: Kai Strauss - Storming in Chicago

November 25 will see the relase of a great new album by German blues guitar master Kai Strauss. As Alligator Boss Bruce Iglauer says it: “Kai Strauss is a subtle and sophisticated bluesman who has it all—he can deliver a lyric vocally, create an interesting and unusually structured blues song, and he plays very “grown up” guitar. He is one of those guitar players who understands what the important notes are. Kai’s new album, “Night Shift” features two guest appearances by one of the blues fastest-rising stars—Chicago’s Toronzo Cannon.
