Our Take
Volker Kriegel's latest album, "With A Little Help From My Friends," is a delightful blend of jazz fusion and psychedelic whimsy that will have you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure. The German guitarist has assembled a stellar cast of musicians to help bring his vision to life, including the likes of keyboardist Wolfgang Dauner and drummer Joe Nay. From the opening track, "Funky Friends," it's clear that Kriegel is not content to simply rest on his laurels. The funky bassline and swirling organ provide the perfect backdrop for Kriegel's virtuosic guitar work, which manages to be both technically impressive and emotionally resonant. As the album progresses, tracks like "Mystic Mountain" and "Crazy Cat" showcase Kriegel's ability to shift effortlessly between genres, incorporating elements of bossa nova, rock, and even a hint of prog. But it's on the title track, a cover of the Beatles classic, where Kriegel truly shines. The band's reinterpretation of the iconic tune is both faithful and inventive, with Kriegel's guitar taking on a life of its own, soaring and snarling in equal measure. It's a fitting tribute to the legendary band, and a testament to Kriegel's own prodigious talents. Overall, "With A Little Help From My Friends" is a joyous, kaleidoscopic romp through the mind of one of jazz fusion's unsung heroes. Volker Kriegel may not be a household name, but after listening to this album, he should be.
