Gentlemen.Music is a brand-new project from the Rhine-Main area, in which the veterans of the Frankfurt music scene Harald Andres and Werner Littau have joined forces and will release their first joint CD production in late summer 2017.
Andres, formerly the singer and composer of the rock band Second Page, which caused a sensation in the Frankfurt area in the early 1980s with their album "Crawler," and Werner Littau, formerly the keyboardist, composer, and arranger of the Frankfurt rock band Octopus and, during the heyday of NDW, keyboardist for Hubert Kah, met quite by chance at a singer/songwriter slam in which Harald Andres participated. Werner Littau was so taken by the soulful pieces of Andres, who now lives in the tranquil Taunus village of Aarbergen-Daisbach, that the idea was born to embed the pieces, originally conceived for vocals and guitar, in Werner Littau's digital soundscapes.
Littau's arrangements give the songs, once performed acoustically, a big band sound without completely distorting their meaning. The CD "Footprints" consists of twelve pieces that tell of love, suffering, recognition, diet frustration, bad little girls, and everything that goes with them. Werner Littau's big band sounds, including piano, plus Harald Andres' acoustic guitar and his bluesy voice, create an unusual combination – even live – that is rarely found on the music market. Gentlemen.Music – handmade meets high-tech.
