The result you get is the guitar play of the German guitarist Uli Brodersen. I didn\u2019t know about him until now. This is his first album, his debut from 2008. Seven songs were recorded, among them only one cover. The rest were original compositions by Uli. Some of the tracks can be heard on radio stations around the world. Uli\u2019s sound reminds me of George Benson\u2019s play. After the easy going title track, Uli tackles \u2018Four on Six\u2019 by Wes Montgomery. This one\u2019s a bit more up-tempo. The other tracks are more smooth jazz oriented, and Uli composes interesting melodies.
