Hailing from Stuttgart in Germany, Michael Friedinger is a pianist, keyboard player, composer, arranger and producer who creates his own sound by blending elements of smooth jazz, funk, gospel and Brazilian and Cuban influences. Taking cues from artists such as George Duke, Jeff Lorber and Russell Ferrante, Michael Friedinger has recently ventured out as an artist under his own name to share his music with the world.
Last month saw him make his entrance with the debut single “Junior,” unveiling his sound with an upbeat instrumental jam. Now he’s already back with the follow up, bringing us his latest release with the brand new sophomore single titled “Time Together with You.”
Lifted from his upcoming debut album, set to drop next month, “Time Together with You” serves up a truly unique run through of the artists diverse influences, capturing the smoother side of the twelve songs set to feature on the record. Penned with the theme of quality time in mind, the song is written about cherishing moments and enjoying occasions with loved ones or your treasured people, or in Michael’s case, his favourite musicians.
Joining the performance talents of Michael Friedinger on the song are saxophonist Arno Haas, guitarist Nico Schliemann, bass player Ben Jud and Stephan Schuchardt on drums. Kicked off by lively sax leads, riding the playful punch and taps of drums and bouncy piano, with two abrupt pips the track settles into a smooth groove that’s guaranteed to get you moving.
Popping slapped bass guitar work and the laid back patter of drums injects infectious rhythm as the musicians apply their sonic flair. Delicate piano leads, funky guitar licks drenched in shimmering wah and vibrant saxophone leads all converge on this stunning instrumental cut.
Bringing Michael Friedinger’s superb composition to life in spectacular fashion, the sensational musicianship on display is sure to charm any listener while the mellow rhythm will have you swaying to the beat. It’s a truly stellar second outing from this exciting artist who goes from strength to strength while building the hype for his forthcoming full-length record next month.
