I wrote this song in 2004.
It describes the search for the right path in life. It starts out questioning by and ends in a liberated and happy mood now the meaning of life has been found.
At the end of the seventies, this song unleashed a musical revolution: it established the saxophone in the pop and rock industry.
This interpretation of George Michael’s popular ballad is my homage to this great singer.
My latest composition takes up the passion and temperament of a southern summer night and lets the saxophone dance to the hard sounds of the guitar.
A real blues composition which I recorded live together with Erich Jentschmann, a fantastic pianist, during a vacation in Wengen, Switzerland. Thank you, Piano Man!
With this song, Ray Charles campaigned against racial discrimination of black people and in the end, he was made an honorary citizen of the state of Georgia. I play this song as a tribute to this great musician who incorporated gospel and soul into his work.
In this interpretation, the soloists all take their turn.
Here, Erich Jentschmann hits the keys again and challenges the saxophone.
Dance version
I would like to close “Spirit Of The Night” with this familiar love song by Eric Clapton.
