Info for Fröhliche Stille Nacht

Engelrausch – these are Andreas Neubauer, Hanns Höhn, and Martin Wagner. The first one, who represents the drummer, has been playing in the past along a variety of musicians; among them are Georg Ringsgwandl or Biréli Lagrène. For the past ten years, he toured all over his native country France, while feeling at home in many different stylistics, such as Straight Ahead Jazz, R&B, and Soul. Hereby, he enriches the rhythmical spectrum of the band. The contra bass player Hanns Höhn made his mark through “Tango Transit”, with his duo project FrauContra-Bass, or as a sideman in Germany’s Jazz scene. Since 1984, Martin Wagner has been working in many stylistic directions as an accordionist, mainly in Jazz and World Music. Him involves the accordion style, which suits to the roots of the instrument, and, at the same time, strikes out in new directions. Along with Personality Records, the three musicians present their latest production: Engel- rausch – Fröhliche Stille Nacht, which will be released on November 17th. ​

Classical or traditional Christmas songs are given a completely new feel. This al- bum is about liberation! The liberation of tinsel, kitsch, and consumption, however, without denying the roots of the Christmas celebration. A simple change for the better. When taking a look at the tracklist, one can tell that the musicians have intensively dealt with the different musical pieces. Titles such as Caribbean Cling Clong let the listeners dream of Christmas wearing shorts and drinking fro- zen Margaritas. Lasst uns froh und munter sein - Dance meets Oberkrainer and a talking accordion. Joseph lieber Joseph mein is supposed to rock the child into sleep; Joseph is aware of his new responsibility and takes it with pride. At the end, he knows that this child is his own. Auf dem Berge da gehet der Wind reminds of Christmas on Mount Kilimanjaro with alpenglow. There are no limits set when it comes to the interpretations of the songs. With their music, Engelrausch creates the pursued liberation with ease.

Engelrausch / Tango Transit
is a German crossover band formed in 2008. Martin Wagner (accordion), Hanns Höhn (bass) and Andreas Neubauer (drums) have consequently developed their original style between Jazz, Tango, Blues and other influences such as Funk and Cajun music. According to the group, the term Tango refers to a state of expression and energy rather than merely a musical style or format.

The band has released four albums and a live-DVD to date and tours extensively throughout Germany and European countries such as France, Switzerland, Austria and Romania. They have appeared in clubs and festivals alike and leave audiences subsequently impressed.

This album contains no booklet.
