Brief description: This trio that you are about to listen to came to life at a Latin music festival in Tromso, Northern Norway, March 2007. Legendary drummer and percussion player Alex Acuna was the special guest of honor with a norwegian ensemble. After playing only a few bars together as a trio on the first rehearsal, Alex was jumping off his drum stool screaming out: "Wow guys, fantastic, we have to play much more together". What we experienced right there is every musicians dream, to meet somebody who fully share the same approach and love for playing music, and you feel that this person has always been your friend.
The music on this recording stretches from soft acoustic tunes to electric high voltage energy, rockin´jazz.

Brief description: Miniaturvertrauen - Mini-assurance, traversing a back path through the work of the great Symphonist, Jean Sibelius.
The enclosed CD contains eight of Sibelius´miniatures from the years 1914-1918. Rudi Spring, the painist on that recording, feels that Sibelius created something unique in these pieces. Their roots, stemming from 19th century character pieces, are clear, distinct, independent of style and timeless. Sibelius revived this genre and filled it with his creative spirit. In his more less trivial, though entertaining, miniature series there is, indeed, a scattering of true true pearls. Included in these works are moments of enlightened poetry and fabrication, invention and discovery, creation and re-creation.

Brief description: Axel Zwingenberger with different personnel, solo, with vocals, piano duets or with band. Every tune has a connection to trains, either in the title or in the lyrics.
With Big Joe Turner, Sippie Wallace, Jay McShann, Mama Yancey, Red Holloway, Mojo Blues Band, Torsten Zwingenberger a.o.

This CD is detached from Axel Zwingenberger's fulminant photo book »Vom Zauber der Züge« (»The Magic of Trains«), which includes more than 200 of his night shots of moving steam engines.

Brief description: The two most influential pianists of the German Boogie scene on two grands - for the first time on CD! Blues and Boogie Woogie fireworks live - in front of an enthusiastic audience.
With their quite different individual piano styles, they almost devide their fans into two fractions. But Axel and Vince love and master the rare art of improvising together, having refined it in hundreds of joint concerts. Listen to the results of this deep musical friendship.
Mostly duets and some solos.

Brief description: Duets of the brothers Axel Zwingenberger on piano with Torsten Zwingenberger on the drums. A dreamlike musical understanding between the brothers is more than obvious in these recordings. Live recorded in Jazzland, Vienna in February 1988

Brief description: Axel Zwingenberger, the Boogie specialist and Gottfried Boettger, the universalist and Blues enthusiast meet on two concert grands.
Blues is the theme of this album. To play Blues means to convert daily experiences into sounds. Joy, pain, sorrow, pleasure: life is told by grooves.
Axel and Gottfried on two Bösendorfer grands in the studio.
