Fifteen years have passed since Christian Rannenberg released his last album at Acoustic Music. But now the blues-pianist is back. A recording like visiting a good blues club in Chicago or the Bay Area. Christian Rannenberg plus guests. Don't miss this CD!
Christian Rannenberg is THE German Bluespianist par excellence: Chris Rannenberg. And not unjustly, he has a reputation for being both a brilliant soloist and one of the most sensitive accompanists of Europe.
In 1976, he was co-founder of the "Blues Company".
A year later he switched to the blues band "The Third Ear" as a freelance musician. Numerous performances and tours followed. E.g. as an accompaniment for American blues stars like Billy Boy Arnold, J. B. Hutto and Eddie Clearwater.
But the tours through Europe were not enough for Chris Rannenberg and so he decided to perfect his skills in the USA. It moved him 1982 to Chicago. Within a short time he played there in the bands of John Littlejohn, Lefty Dizz, Sam Lay and Jimmy Rogers.
In the same year he founded the "International Blues Duo" with tenor saxophonist Gary Wiggins. This formation toured Europe a short time later, both in the duo and together with John Heartsman, Thorsten Zwingenberger, Angela Brown, Guitar Crusher, Big Jay McNeely, and Charlie Musselwhite.
In the 90s, Chris Rannenberg moved to Oakland, where he was with blues artists such as Cool Papa and Buddy Ace.
Back in Germany, another duo production with Big Jay McNeely took place, which won the prize of the German record critics. A short time later the CD of the "First Class Blues Band" founded by him also received this award.
Chris Rannenberg can count on old blues legends such as Blind John Davis, James Booker, Willie Mabon, Henry Gray and Sunnyland Slim.
