Gerald Gradwohl
With no doubt Gerald Gradwohl is one of the hippest musicians in the Austrian studio and live scene. Growing up with Rock and Hardrock Music, he changed his style when he began to study guitar at the Conservatory Vienna, where he obtained first-class honours.
Not only Austrian Stars from Rock to Jazz (Juci, Iris Camaa, Sandra Pires, Andi Borg, Viktor Gernot, Hallucination Company, Alex Göbel etc..) hire him for studio or live Gigs – but also international Greats like the famous several time grammy-nominated pioneers of instrumental music TANGERINE DREAM enjoy his guitar work extraordinaire. You can listen to his work with Tangerine Dream on the records“Tyranny of Beauty“and „Goblin’s Club“-both chartbreakers on the international instrumental charts.
Besides these sideman jobs he teaches Jazz and electric guitar at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory Eisenstadt/Austria, and records and produces with his own Fusion Trio. 1996 Gerald produced a live record with his band THREEO featuring the great BOB BERG(Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Mike Stern….) on tenor sax. This CD – a real dynamic and virtuoso record – was recorded during a European Tour 1996 and became best Jazz album 1998 in Austria.
RAW (2016) is a critically acclaimed masterpiece of Jazz and Rock music and is the first release with his current band.
