This is a track from my album TALES OF A NOMAD, a collection of impressions from decades of living a nomadic life for professional reasons.

'78, The Woods, And The Lake

Rapaziada

The Horseman

Composed and performed by „HIN UND WIDER“ (Gunther Benedict – drums, Othmar Eichinger – tenor sax, Axl Hansal – guitar, Christoph Musil – bass, Mario Palaschke – keyboards).

Anatol Am Marathon

This instrumental track, performed by GOLTZ (Gunther Benedict-drums, Christoph Musil-bass, Mario Palaschke-keyboards), is the result of a nightly improvisation over a poem by German writer Christian Morgenstern (1871-1914).

Gruselette

Composed by Sholom Secunda und Jacob Jacobs (1932). Arranged and performed by JAZZ ODER NIE (Gunther Benedict – guitar, Gerd Heiselmeier – tenor sax, Leonid Janot – banjo, Jens Larssen – trombone, Günter Petereit – drums, Michael Wilms – sousaphon, vocals). This is in honour of my former bandmates, who already passed away: drummer Günter Petereit and trombonist Jens Larssen!

Bei Mir Bistu Shein (Jazz Standard)

This is a track from my album BOOTY FROM DUMMYLAND, a speckled collection of moody stuff - sometimes just musical sketches, demos, or spontaneous improvisations, sometimes more elaborated pieces.

Rainy Morning Blues

Pancake Groove

Here I would like to present music composed and produced by myself (multitracking guitars, bass, and drums) and pieces that were created in the context of various bands since 1990. Some of the tracks are completely worked out, some are demos, some are from jam sessions, and some are live recordings. When relevant, in each single track the band name is given, the respective players are listed, and details as to the background of the music are presented.
All drawings and paintings were done by myself and, in some cases, by my wife, Andrea.
