DEUTSCH »

In an entertainment industry dominated by hasty surfaces and quick impressions, it seems almost daring to present oneself with an art form as seemingly reduced and fragile as acoustic solo performance. An 'entertainment format' that requires patience, attention, and a willingness to embrace details. Recommendation for the artist: A healthy dose of confidence before each concert.

In Leichtfried's standard interpretations and original pieces, musical intellect, deep emotion, and refined expressiveness merge. Through the clarity of his lines and a deliberate distance from showmanship, Leichtfried paints a purist picture of modern jazz that is well worth appreciating.
