Longings Rudi Berger Quintet

With his 7th album Longings, jazz violinist Rudi Berger devotes himself to the themes of longing and hope. Completely independent in terms of style and phrasing and devoid of any academic tendencies, a picture is created of an unmistakable violin virtuoso who writes, and performs his own compositions. A beguiling blend of New York jazz jargon, Viennese musical slang, Latin American influences, and blues. (Gramola)
