Dirk Blümlein - Was Leichtes für Zwischendurch (2021)

He started playing the recorder at the age of 8, then switched to the trumpet at 12, he later played the bass, or more precisely the electric bass, and even more precisely the bass guitar. Dirk Blümlein has been doing this since the age of 14 out of deep passion. After graduating from university with a degree in electric bass in 1999, he became a full-time musician.

To this end, the bassist has toured criss-cross Europe with the ska band No Sports and is musically on the road all over the world with the band Fools Garden.

In addition to many productions as a sideman, Dirk Blümlein has currently recorded and released 3 solo CDs and 4 CDs with his own band, the Dirk Blümlein Terzett. At the moment, the electric bassist is working on his fourth solo production, which has a programmatic title: "WLFZ - Was Leichtes für Zwischendurch".

The "Dirk Blümlein Terzett" is made up of the following musicians, co-creators:
Andreas Francke (as & clar.), Eckhard Stromer (dr) and Dirk Blümlein (eb).

The musicians can't believe their luck, because they have been playing in this formation for over 20 years. Yes, congratulations are in order.

What distinguishes the group? There is blind musical understanding, forgiving friendship and always the search for new musical possibilities. Despite the spartan line-up (trio), the band's banner is at the top: they want to make their own exciting music, and offer it expertly and with humour. That's how it should be.
