"Helmut is the 'Dean' of German-Jazz-Guitar" (Zitat Larry Coryell), was er mit dieser aktuellen Solo-Einspielung auch überzeugend unter Beweis stellt. 90 Jahre Jazz-Geschichte sind zu hören, von Fats Wallers ,,Ain't Misbehavin"' im George van Eps-Plectrum Style, über John Coltranes ,,Giant Steps" im Up-Tempo mit rasenden Single-Note-Linien, Pat Martinos ,,Country Road", komplett auskomponiert und nur mit Downstrokes gespielt, bis hin zu höchst lyrischen Stücken wie ,,Smile" von Charlie Chaplin - mit künstlichen Flageoletts ornamentiert. Attila Zollers Hit-Tune ,,About Birds and Bees" rundet alles mit groovendem Latin-Style ab. Ein aufregender Wechsel musikalischer Stimmungen, swingend, als würde eine komplette Rhythm-Section mitspielen.
"Helmut is the 'dean' of German jazz guitar;" said Larny Coryell. And convincing proof of the pudding is Kagerer's current solo recording.
The album presents 90 years of jazz history, from Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavlng" in a George van Eps plectrum style, to John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" in an up-tempo with racing lines of single notes. Pat Martino's "Country Road" appears, through-composed and played only with down strokes, as do lyrical pieces like "Smile" by Charlie Chaplin, decorated with artificial flageolets. Attila Zoller's hit tune "About Birds And Bees" rounds off the album in a grooving Latin style. Altogether, it's an exciting panoply of musical moods that swings as if an entire rhythm section were playing along.
