In 2014 i was invited to play in Heidelberg in a Club. Due to lack of other fellow musicians i started to build a concept for playing my first Solokonzert under the synonyme "Bertino - just guitar", just for this date.

But on this evening i realized that it worked prestte well as the audience like my gig.
So i started further developing this  Programm, so i would be able to play all along - jus me and my guitar - and thus the Project "Bertino - just guitar" was born.

I have to admit that the interaction with other musicians playing music in a band is always something special and not replaceable, as this is possibly creating a special deepness in the music by that.

But playing alone (in my case i use a so called "Looper" as my "acompaning band"), is in the same time giving a great musical freedom, beeing able to play anything you want on your instrument, without negotiating with other collegues. Your able to play without any time pressure or changing the timing or style just the way you decide to do so in a minute.
This way i am able to present music  absoloute freely without beeing bound to any category.

Thats why i decided to further investigate and develop my Program. Meanwhile i have a repertoire of approx. 60-80 Tunes of all kinds of styles, a blend mix of Jazz, Pop, Classics and original compositions that i perform in my own style somewhere between Jazz-Manouche, Blues, Pop in a kind of "how-ever-you-might-call-it"-Style.

You may call it jazzy Singer-Songwriter-stuff with a touch of Jazzmanouche or swingy Pop-Guitar with Jazz and vocals. Call it what you want ... up to you. I call it - music :-)
