I am very excited to show you the album teaser of my first duo album with my long-time companion Christoph Spangenberg on piano called "REINBERG - Old Friend".
This is a very special album for us celebrating 6 years together on stage. In between the concerts with my band Mr. Quilento we always played some concerts in a duo setting early on.
Building up on that deep musical connection it was a logical step to record a duo album. I can vividly remember our first writing sessions in Hamburg in 2012 for my first album "Mr. Quilento" and how we wrote its opener "Seven Orange" together.
After the release of my second album "ALGIEDI" both of us got together again to work on original material for a duo record but in the end it was a spontaneous decision to tackle a standard repertoire on Old Friend inspired by the late harmonica old hand Toots Thielemans.
So I went to Berlin last summer to rehearse with Christoph for a few days and right after that we hit the studio for another three days with Benjamin Ostarek engineering. Therefore the whole album was done in one week only !!
Now I am very happy that we can share this album with you.
