Volker Kriegel - R.I.P.

Three days ago Volker Kriegel died of cancer in Spain. He was one of Germany's best known guitarrists and played for instance with the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble.

Thank you, Hermann. I'm sorry to hear that. I used to play several of his LP's when I did my radio show - some of the UJRE releases and Octember Variations, a poppish jazz fusion album that I used to throw on between hardcore avant jazz cuts to soothe the burn.

I appreciate his music. May he rest after his travails.

Sorry to hear the news, Hermann. I had a sweet tooth for Dave Pike a few years ago and appreciated VK's guitar more than any of the other cats in the band.

Is there anyone out there who can cite Kriegel as an influence?
