about

The best, the most convincing, intellectually and - to the same degree - emotionally demanding jazz guitarist... It's all about unrivalled world class." - Jazz Podium (Alexander Schmitz)

As if to quietly utter "enough with talking about the music...," guitarist Wolfgang Schalk gets to the heart of the matter with Word of Ear and lets his playing speak loud and clear… strong and modern post-bop vibe chops à la Pat Martino…" - All About Jazz (Mark F. Turner)

"Great new album! Solid! I rarely get CD's by jazz guitarists this good. I am really knocked out. It stands out." - Tom Schnabel, KCRW

“Wolfgang Schalk’s playing is fresh and innovative. This disc takes you by surprise from the start... hauntingly beautiful.” - Just Jazz Guitar

"A very fluent guitarist (perfectly at ease at rapid tempos) who also has an expressive sound... Schalk’s solos are heated yet relaxed and they build logically. Word Of Ear, which is easily recommended…” - LA Jazz Scene (Scott Yanow)
