âOn the right trackâ The new album of Kai Kreowski: INFO

Rain patters against the window, while it is warm and comfortable inside: A relaxing evening with a glass red wine: low music comes from the boxes, a jazz piano, expressive but not obtrusive vocals, groovy drums begins and then "WOW" a jazzy saxophone-soloâ¦

The stereo plays "On the right track", the new record of the German Songwriter and multi-talented musician Kai Kreowski. There are significant differences to his debut album "Under the surface" on which he played all instruments by himself. (vocals, piano, guitar, bass, clarinet, percussion)
He tackled the matter differently by working with several talented musicians and experimenting with a new modern jazz-pop-style.
As a result, the music turns out to be more powerful, more relaxed and reminds of the amazing Jazz-Singer and Piano-Player Jamie Cullum.
"On the right track" derives from an intense, productive and creative collaboration with the drummer Christian Rollwage who gives the record its tight groove and the right swing.
The cellist Caroline Wiese conjures her instrument in a fairly emotional and soft way, whereas the female singer Judith Adomeit who has a very expressive voice turned out to be a perfect duet-partner of Kreowski.

The recordings were overshadowed by the tragic death of the saxophonist Alex Piepmeier who had played extraordinary and breath-taking solos on four tracks of the album.
Kai Kreowski: âThat was a painful shock and I was about to relinquish the whole project. I have lost a good friend and terrific musician and it hurts so much that we can't play our music together any more. The songs themselves helped me to carry on; they are full of hope and joy and I am very proud of the result of our teamwork."
