Siggi Schwarz is a German guitar player who started his career in the roaring Sixties. One of his most important bands was Bluespilz, a German blues-rock combo with a great feeling for the blues. Years later he became a concert promoter and after being in the music business for over three decades, he was able to invite four guitar players whose names are more than well known: Michael Schenker, Geoff Whitehor, Frank Dietz and Alex Conti, to jam with him.
He is an established German rock and blues guitar player who runs a specialised guitar shop with worldwide reputation. By combining both aspects of willing (and being able) to play some hot licks and using his good contacts to his shop clients he created his very first Legend’ recording in 2004, a wonderful album, consisting of 14 rock, soul, and blues standards, that might become a standard on his own for guitar fetishists.
‘Electric Guitar Legends’ is much more a band project rather than a Siggi Schwarz recording with various guest artists on selected titles. Most of the titles were performed with four guitarists simultaneously.
Siggi Schwarz decided to continue this project with more albums to come in the future !
