“The Antonella Letters” is an intimate and sensitive album by jazz and fusion guitarist Michael Sagmeister. It's jazz guitar in its purest form, a concentrate of the harmonic and melodic lines all recorded by Sagmeister himself. The eighteen cuts include twelve by Sagmeister himself, plus works by Chick Corea, John Coltrane, Carlos Jobim, Sonny Rollins, Johnny Green and Arthur Schwartz. Together they create a coherent whole filled with exciting harmonies as the basis for clever and motley melodies and improvisations. Michael Sagmeister just won the Hesse Jazz Prize 2019. He has over forty years of stage experience, and is a professor at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts. His portfolio includes thirty CD productions, but Michael Sagmeister is not resting on his laurels. “The Antonella Letters”, coming just a year after the outstanding recording of “The Power Of Resistance”, is yet another milestone in his musical career and offers jazz at the highest level.
