Frank Muschalle has been touring throughout Europe for over 15 years and is now one of the most internationally sought-after boogie-woogie pianists. He has performed in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Poland, Germany, the USA, France, and Spain, and has been a guest at festivals in Zurich, Paris, Hamburg, Vienna, Dresden, Ghent, Lyon, Berlin, Lucerne, and many other places. "Muschalle has an excellent command of finger playing—unlike many self-taught pianists."
Muschalle, on the other hand, has an enormous range of dynamic nuances, chord attacks, and phrasing possibilities at his disposal. With a relaxed hand, he shakes the chord tremoli in Johnson's "Swingin' The Boogie" out of joint without cramping. He also succeeds in improvisations with feeling and excitement... Numbers like "Black Fantasy" and Ellington's "Creole Love Call" elevate Muschalle & Co. to new heights of splendor with wit, charm, and inventiveness. This is feeling, this is music, this is blues.
