Top trumpeter Rüdiger Baldauf (Heavytones) together with Freddi Lubitz (Höhner) wrote six funky tunes especially for trumpet. Inspired by legends of funk and soul music like James Brown or Tower Of Power, the two well-known thoroughbred musicians deliver authentic funk with rich grooves and first-class play-alongs - perfect for experienced trumpeters! All titles are composed in the tempos typical of funk and are each prepared with three etudes on the musical and technical content. The audio recordings were recorded live with the well-known musicians Moritz Müller (drums) and Christian Frentzen (keys/Fender Rhodes) and convincingly transport the typically pulsating funk beat for the ultimate play-along experience. Rüdiger Baldauf exclusively plays Bach instruments in cooperation with GEWA Music.
