"Hamburg Spinners im Schwarzwald" is the third album by the mod-jazz quartet HAMBURG SPINNERS. The HAMBURG SPINNERS are Carsten Meyer on organ, Dennis Rux on guitar, David Nesselhauf on bass and Lucas Kochbeck on drums.
Hamburg Spinners in the Black Forest 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 background noises added afterwards. The songs offer the tried and tested swinging mixture of soul, R&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.
As the Englishman says: "Who needs winners when there's the HAMBURG SPINNERS!"
