Rens Newland
From Holland, Newland made his mark on the music scene through decades long work and dedication. Starting with his early years as a Pop guitarist, Newland quickly transitioned into Blues and Jazz. This evolution led him to be a part of the Jazz-Rock revolution, and the USA Billboards Charts’ success of his first album with the band Scope. Among his notable accomplishments over his more than 4-decade musical career, is his work as musical Director and Guitarist for Gloria Gaynor and for The Supremes. Newland is a quadruple musical threat. He is a guitarist, producer, composer, and orchestrator, he recorded a dozen - mostly Jazz or Fusion jazz - albums on his own name, plus several with projects like the famous Ostinato, and appears besides that on numerous albums as a side-man. In addition, he serves as a label director for Jive Music Austria.

A broad spectrum of his composing as well as his playing is showed here of Rens Newland. He choose to double all the melodies with the Tenor Sax of master Herb Berger, because in the several gigs and recordings Rens found out, that the blend is perfect between him and Herb! Also the other fellow musicians, Wolfi Rainer on drums, Andy Mayerl on upright bass and Martin Wöss on piano act very keen and tasty, leaving room for the melodies and improvisations. The Bandleader uses a lot of different electric guitars, from the Jazz Gibson L5 to Fender Tele, even the Line 6 Variax makes wonderful appearences.
The style goes from easy going Groove Jazz and some light Funk to interesting Fusion ballads and Jazz sounds.

Being one of the pioneers and masters of fusion jazz, Rens Newland presents here kind of a new approach: with his younger fellow musicians, Wolfi Rainer on light drums and Andy Mayerl on upright bass, he plays mainly acoustic steel guitars (some tunes with his crunchy Jazz guitar) to come up with what he calls "bluesy acoustic fusion".
The concept is about bringing colour into a grey world.
