ZED MITCHELL
VERLEGT auf den 28.09.24 | Tickets behalten ihre Gültigkeit
The string magician Zed Mitchell
He has the ability to play every string of a guitar with a personal touch. The string magician can make his instrument rock, sound virtuosic or weave melancholy soundscapes. When Zed Mitchell plays, blues music resounds with an inspiring facet.
The guitarist, singer and composer Zed Mitchell, who comes from the former Yugoslavia, is one of the best-known and most important guitarists in Europe. His life story is so varied and inspiring that many a guitar player wishes they could have one: Always fascinated by his instrument, he played on many stages as a teenager with several bands that were quite well-known in the former Yugoslavia and acquired his distinctive playing style, which he still uses today.
Schließlich fiel 1970 die Entscheidung, sein Leben der Musik zu widmen und so schrieb, sang und spielte er mit aller Leidenschaft gemeinsam mit seiner Band „Land“. Und nur vier Jahre später erzielten sie mit „Shoshana“ den ersten internationalen Single-Hit. Fernsehauftritte und Radiointerviews folgten auf diesen großen Erfolg – und schließlich spielte Zed Mitchell mehrere Jahre europaweit als Support-Act auf den Tourneen von Focus, Deep Purple oder Ian Gillian. Diese Zeit prägte sein Spiel. Er begann, Rockmusik und Bluesnoten zu vermischen, lotete die Grenzen seines Instrumentes aus und entwickelte einen neuen, eigensinnigen Powerblues, der schon damals Stimmungen perfekt einfangen und umsetzen konnte. Dass Zed Mitchell seine
eigene musikalische Sprache entwickeln konnte, verdankt er auch den Begegnungen und der Arbeit an Projekten aus jener Zeit als Studiomusiker. Viele herausragende Produzenten wie Malcolm Luker oder Filmkomponist Nick Glennie-Smith, seinerseits die rechte Hand vom zweifachen Oscar-Gewinner Hans Zimmer, begleiteten ihn auf seinem Weg und führten zu einer steten Weiterentwicklung seines flinken Fingerspiels und der einfühlsamen Art, den Saiten der Gitarre bestimmte, gesetzte Noten zu entlocken.
Artists such as Eros Ramazotti and Natalie Cole appreciated these skills and booked the string magician for their studio recordings. German stars also rely on Zed Mitchell's outstanding playing. Mitchell celebrated one of his greatest successes with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, for whom he recorded all the acoustic and electric guitars and whose CD has sold more than a million copies. He is proud to have immortalized himself with his guitar playing on the soundtrack of the blockbuster Indian Jones or to have played as a support act with his band for world stars such as Joe Cocker, Santana and B.B. King.
Together with many musical friends from the blues and rock scene in Germany, Zed Mitchell released his album “Springtime in Paris” in 2008, which was followed by “Summer in L.A.” in 2010, “Autmn in Berlin” in 2014 and “Winter in Amsterdam” in 2016. The new CD “WOW” was released in September 2018! These albums showcase the elegance and perfect craftsmanship of the string magician: played with rousing precision, celebrated sensitively and sensitively or interpreted fierily and expressively, Zed Mitchell builds musical castles with numerous facets for dancing, rocking or melancholic drifting. The dynamics of his dexterity and the pronounced joy of playing are palpable in every note, if not within reach, and show that as a professional musician he has a perfect command of his craft in all genres.
So it is not surprising that Zed Mitchell, with his expertise and flair, is still one of the “most wanted” musicians in Germany today. Music lovers, insiders and other artists count him among the top of the blues scene and mention his name in the same breath as artists such as Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Gary Moore or Robert Cray. And anyone who has experienced Zed Mitchell live with his charming manner, who has heard the blues in the notes he plays, knows why.
