Gerald Gradwohl Music

Born 1967 in Wiener Neustadt(A),
Jazz guitar studies in Vienna 1986 to 1989, graduated with distinction
Active as musician, composer and band leader ever since
Teaching jazz guitar at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory in Eisenstadt since 1991
Living in Wiener Neustadt(A) as freelance guitarist and composer,
Gradwohl can jump into and out off the stylistic changes like a true chameleon.
Having the support and backing his great rhythm section has really made this
venture for Gradwohl into tribal funk fusion a viable effort of world class caliber.
GG pulls all the stops of his musical skills. “As much composition as necessary
and as much improvisation as possible” seems to be the dogma and the point of
view of fusion-music of today for this worldwide known and acknowledged
composer and performer, living in Wr. Neustadt, Austria.
Out of the tiniest motives, Gradwohl manages to develop breathtaking solos
based on steaming grooves or balladesque sound collages. Some kind of
somnambulistic playing with the guys in the band let creative things happen.
After his great album „ABQ“ from 2003(feat. Covington, Bob Berg and Gary
Willis) and the 2011 released Live Album „ABQ Live & Raw“ the band recorded
new material after their European tour 2012. This new album „Gerald
Gradwohl – Big Land“ has been released in June 2013 and features the great
ex Tribal Tech/Zawinul drummer Kirk Covington!!
He is currently touring with Covington and the great Adam Nitti(USA) on bass.
and is working on a new album to be released 2016!
Collaborations with
Tangerine Dream, Bob Berg, Rick Margitza, Kirk Covington, Alex Göbel, Dancing
Stars Orchestra ...just to name a few.
