The versatile composer, arranger and guitar virtuoso Ruediger Krause has been heard in bands led by Guenther Fischer, ECHO winner Céline Rudolph, Esther Kaiser, and his own trio Electric Krause. Inspired by jazz composer Carla Bley to arrange a number of her compositions for a varied array of acoustic and electric guitars has resulted in Krause's new album A Guitar Named Carla, a swinging to romantic tribute to this great artist that features Ms. Bley and bassist Steve Swallow on the album's final track, which they also arranged. Includes the legendary song Escalator Over The Hill.
Excellent renditions of Bley's compositions played with a guitar named Carla (actually other 'devices' are used too - such as 'pitch shifted hum'). Steve Swallow and Bley herself lend a hand on the last tune. I enjoyed Funnybird Song very much, and it is great to hear old familiar tunes such as Musique Mechanique and Ida Lupino played only with guitar, by such imaginative musician as Rudiger (the perfect guitarist for the task). Recommended but start with Carla Bley's many wonderful works if you don't know them yet.
