Wienstroer und Band

In the organizer's words:

Wienstroer and Band are a power trio that plays energetic instrumental music.
3 extremely virtuoso musicians have come together and developed their own sound. The compositions are a melting pot of influences ranging from 70's jazz rock fusion (Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra) to progressive rock (King Crimson, UK), the music of Frank Zappa or Mike Keneally to 90's groove metal and the music of guitar heroes like Steve Vai or Joe Satriani. The band consists of guitarist Markus Wienstroer (e.g. Das Pferd, Westernhagen, Lalo Schifrin, WDR Big Band, Nighthawks, Klaus König Orchestra) and his son Jan- David Wenstroer on drums. The two have been improvising together in the practice room for years and have played together in many bands (Helmut Zerlett Band, Wolf Maahn, Überkings). This is how their style developed. During a rehearsal with bassist Christoph Wohlfeil, the three musicians realized that a special band chemistry had developed. This line-up creates a special band sound in which each instrument plays an independent role and creates the highest intensity. They are joined by guest violinist Rüdiger Blömer. He is one of the most outstanding and virtuoso violinists in the jazz and rock scene. His influences range from Didier Lockwood, Jean Luc Ponty and Zbigniew Seifert to new music, in which he is also a very successful composer. He plays in the progressive rock band Flying Circus. He fits seamlessly into the music of the W3 project and enriches it with breathtaking solos and atmospheric soundscapes. This content has been machine translated.
