Jazz And More Frank Haunschild is one of Germany's most famous jazz guitar teachers. His monthly column in the trade magazine 'Gitarre & Bass' has become a well-established institution over the years. In addition, he teaches at the Cologne School of Music. His 'Neue Harmonielehre' (New Music Theory), in two volumes, is a standard. In his 'Modern Guitar Styles', he made his guitar concepts public. Those expecting a "heady" musical persona will be most pleasantly surprised. Frank Haunschild is a virtuoso guitarist, who simply celebrates wonderful music, without dogma or academic constraints. One of his specialties is his technique of filling all the space in small ensembles. He is an ideal duo partner to musicians such as vibraphonist Tom van der Geld or the singer Norbert Gottschalk. Haunschild not only taps into the wellspring of jazz tradition, but has also long been harvesting elements from folk, pop and Latin for his own creative arrangements. Diversity is also part of his music: Frank Haunschild conjures atmospheric sound pictures of the highest musical and emotional order from his famously soft Archtop and from acoustic steel- and nylonstring guitars.
