Our Take

David Friesen and Uwe Kropinski's collaborative effort, "Made In Berlin," is a delightful mix of jazz and classical influences that will transport you to the streets of the German capital. Friesen's masterful bass playing serves as the backbone of the album, providing a solid foundation for Kropinski's intricate guitar work to soar.

From the opening track, "Kreuzberg Nights," it is clear that these two musicians have a deep connection and musical chemistry that is palpable throughout the entire album. Kropinski's delicate fingerpicking and Friesen's rich, resonant tones blend seamlessly, creating a lush soundscape that is both calming and invigorating.

Tracks like "Brandenburg Gate" and "Potsdamer Platz" showcase the duo's ability to evoke the bustling energy of Berlin, while slower tunes like "Tiergarten Serenade" offer moments of introspection and reflection. The album's production is clean and crisp, allowing each note to shimmer and shine.

"Made In Berlin" is a testament to the power of collaboration and musical exploration. Friesen and Kropinski have crafted an album that is both timeless and contemporary, blending traditional jazz elements with modern sensibilities. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or simply looking for something new to listen to, this album is sure to please. So grab a pint of German beer, put on your headphones, and let yourself be transported to the vibrant streets of Berlin. Prost!
