Exclusively on HIGHRESAUDIO! The Delbruegge Band plays music for “Analogue Souls” – is it Jazz? Blues? Soul? Film music? In any case, it’s the music he himself would like to hear at two in the morning at the bar of his favorite bar. Cologne saxophonist Bernd Delbrügge locates it “somewhere between Duke Ellington, Tom Waits and Clärchens Ballhaus” (with a dash of Edgar Wallace). The sound of the Delbruegge Band points far back into the past without ever sounding antiquated. Here, American music history is reflected in the bar of a German night bar. A perfect melange of styles in extended film noir mode.Delbrügge and his band mates Gert Kapo (keys), Gero Gellert (bass) and Dirk Ferdinand (drums) know how to get grooves going and don’t cook on a low flame soloistically either. There are hardly any musical boundaries for this quartet: “Il Mio Topolino” could have come from a Fellini film, “Drunken Man ́s Boogaloo” is the perfect soundtrack for a last nightcap at the bar, and Edgar Wallace dances with the frog in the mask to the “Hollerstein Waltz”.

Bernd Delbrügge wrote most of the tracks for “Analogue Souls” in 2020 on a park bench in the Vogelsang district of Cologne, his temporary “Corona stage” at the time. In the summer of 2021, the band recorded the album live in Dirk Baldringer’s recording studio using analog tape technology from the 1970s. This is the way it is known from the heyday of legendary labels like Blue Note, Motown or Stax, and you can hear that in the album.
