After the great success of his last album (over 8M streams) highly acclaimed German jazz keyboardist Sebastian Gahler releases his new album ""Electric Stories"". It offers groove-based high-energy jazz with depth, underscoring his self-conception as a versatile musical storyteller. Gahler switches from classical grand piano to a fortress of vintage keys & synths. He plays with N.Y. trombonist Andy Hunter (Snarky Puppy!) on the album. The sound setting is inspired by the groove, funk, and fusion jazz of the 1960s and 70s, where Gahler locates his musical roots, following the footsteps of pioneers like Herbie Hancock's groundbreaking album ""Head Hunters"" (1973). For this, Gahler switches from the classical jazz grand piano to a fortress of vintage keyboards. He combines the chime-like tines of a Fender Rhodes with the punchy attack of a Wurlitzer electric piano, mixes the floating vibrato of a Hammond B-3 organ with the warm lead sounds of a Moog synthesizer, and adds the final touch with the silvery tone of a Hohner String Performer. The electromechanical keyboard quintet is completed by a top-notch ensemble of exceptional musicians: Niklas Schneider on drums, Nico Brandenburg on electric bass, Martin Feske on electric guitar, and – as a guest on five tracks – Denis Gäbel from the HR Big Band on tenor saxophone.
