CD: Berlin Baritone

Legendary guitarist and composer Kurt Rosenwinkel returns with Berlin Baritone, a series of eight completely improvised pieces on baritone guitar, an instrument Rosenwinkel has never recorded an album with. It also includes an improvisation on "Under it All," a song that has appeared in several versions throughout Rosenwinkel's career.
Composer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader and Heartcore Records founder Kurt Rosenwinkel is considered one of the most influential guitarists and composers of the last 30 years. On his latest release Berlin Baritone, he explores the new sonic possibilities of the baritone guitar through solo improvisations.
"When I was at NAMM in 2019, I was at the Collings booth playing their prototype baritone," Rosenwinkel says. "I got caught up in the sound and lost myself. When I looked up minutes later, there was a crowd around me-there was something magical about that guitar, and I felt happy playing it. I kept thinking about it and wanted to capture that feeling in an album."
