The Rosenbergs with Tim Kliphuis – Live recording

The Rosenbergs with Tim Kliphuis.

Jazz guitarist Stochelo Rosenberg plays solo guitar and is at the forefront of the group. The family trio is completed by cousin Nons'che on double bass and brother Nonnie on rhythm guitar. Tim Kliphuis, with his voter ich, played the violin, knows how to unite gipsy jazz with the wide universe of world music and, as a second solo voice, to make the music of this quartet a very inspiring affair. The family has it in the blood, the guest no less!

As a listener, you sit in the front row, participating directly in the live concert, and you can follow the playing exactly: The recording is clear, structured and vividly accomplished. The sometimes unconventional interpretations with their breathtaking guitar and violin solos testify to the extraordinary skill of the virtuosos. The highest notes of the violin are hit perfectly, and the fast-played runs on the guitars are placed with pinpoint accuracy. The bass forms the rhythm floor but does not disappear behind the two soloists, just like the driving rhythm guitar. Music and quality are perfectly matched here!

The spark immediately jumps over to the listener. In this recording, the quartet really gives gas and the album gets stronger and stronger towards the end!
