Biography Helmut Nieberle, Paulo Morello, Sven Faller, Scotty Gottwald
Helmut Nieberle
Throughout his musical career, he was one of the few jazz guitarists on the international scene who dedicated himself primarily to the 7-string guitar. His playing, in every ensemble, was distinguished by sensitive accompaniments and imaginative interplays with other soloists. His own solos, arranged spontaneously, always expressed two sources of inspiration: the composition itself and the immediate musical events of its performance. Whether originals, standards, or rare pieces from jazz or music history: he mastered them "from the heart," presenting them in a sophisticated chord-melody interplay that captivated both players and listeners.
Helmut Nieberle began his career in the school of world-renowned jazz guitarists, including Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Joe Pass, Jim Hall, and Attila Zoller. However, his interest in various styles and musical genres always pushed him beyond his own horizons. He became an internationally acclaimed, "multifaceted" musician, both literally and figuratively, and an award-winning one, in demand not only as a soloist, sideman, and bandleader, but also as a composer, arranger, and program designer.
