Wolfgang Schalk
“A guitarist’s guitarist... No matter how frenetic or soothing his playing may become, Schalk always plays with a master improviser’s sense of quest.” - DownBeat (Editors’ Picks)
“One of the brightest stars in the jazz guitar firmament and one of the best jazz releases this year.” - Tom Evered, fmr GM & SVP, Blue Note Records
Hailed by critics in the US and Europe as “one of the best jazz guitarists”, Wolfgang Schalk highlights his membership in the elite club of today’s creative voices. Couleurs Jazz writes “A musician with religious intensity and a composer with heavy virtuosity... a delicacy of decadent genius.” Schalk’s original pieces are solid and thought provoking. The music is driven by Wolfgang’s distinctive sound and edgy conception, demonstrating his virtuosity on both, arch top and on nylon string acoustic guitar. Schalk’s technique is an interesting study. Arch top, electric and acoustic guitars are of equal weight. “The sound is a mind thing”, Wolfgang states. The secret is in the touch.
