The Hamburg Spinners are Carsten Meyer on organ, Dennis Rux on guitar, David Nesselhauf on bass and Lucas Kochbeck on drums.\n\"Im Schwarzwald\" was recorded live in January 2024 at the legendary MPS studios in Villingen-Schwenningen to capture the band's sound 1:1, with only a few shouts and handclaps added afterwards. The songs offer the tried and tested swinging mix of soul, R\u0026amp;B and mod jazz. Meyer's soulful organ sound, reminiscent of Booker T. Jones, Ingfried Hoffmann and Georgie Fame, is carried by Rux's warm and gripping guitar sound, Nesselhauf's dynamic bass playing and Kochbeck's precise and tight drumming.\n\nBiographical information:\nCarsten Meyer.

Always in danger of encountering the Magic Octopus, a voracious entity who feeds on harmonies, rhythms and breaks -in a word the whole arsenal any musician is lost without and damned to drown in a sea of deadly silence and endless darkness... Listen yourself, enter a different world and witness how the Hamburg Spinners are getting carried away and drawn into the depths. A 20.000-mile plunge into the sea. Honestly!

Their sound blends floating Hammond organ lines, kinetic, driving grooves, funky breaks, and slicing, economic improvisation. The quartet features Carsten Meyer on Hammond B-3, Dennis Rux on guitar, David Nesselhauf on bass, and Lucas Kochbeck on drums. It was cut live on two weekends in April 2021 in Hamburg's Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Studios. The chemistry was right and in a truly democratic process ideas were fleshed out, arrangements were done on the spot. A will to collective playing whilst always sticking to the rudimentary basics was in the air. Thus the music could spread out like the arms of an octopus. And though there are limits on the sound of the Hammond organ quartet creativity can burst out \u0026amp; find its way to overcome the limits. Reminiscences of down-to-the-bone songs by Timmy Thomas or Phoenix might come to one's mind when listening to the new Hamburg Spinners album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever change a winning team: Meyer's soulful organ sound is buoyed by Rux's warm and gripping guitar sound, Nesselhauf's dynamic bass lines and Kochbeck's tight in-the-pocket drumming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legere","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50459348795723,"sku":"1140100","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"skorpion-im-stiefel","title":"Skorpion Im Stiefel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSkorpion im Stiefel\u003c\/i\u003e is the long-awaited debut album by Hamburg Spinners, a contemporary soul, mod-jazz and R\u0026amp;B outfit based in Hamburg\/Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir sound blends floating Hammond organ lines, kinetic, driving grooves, funky breaks and slicing, economic improvisation.
