Gottfried Böttger und Joe Pentzlin

“Boogie-Woogie meets Ragtime” on 2 pianos
 
As in the case of Gottfried Böttger, Joe Pentzlin looks back on a sound pianistic education.  His first piano lesson at the age of 7 and a visit to the conservatory in Göttingen laid the foundations for his present career.  Together, the duo have made numerous records and CDs, completed diverse tours, appeared on radio and TV broadcasts and performed live with Bill Ramsey, Champion Jack Dupree and Charlie Antolini.
 
The musical style of this duo carries the hallmarks of Errol Garner, George Shearing and Richard Tee.
 
On the way to an audible boogie-woogie memorial. Experts and enthusiasts.  Inspired duels over the keyboards between Gottfried Böttger and Joe Pentzlin.

Sylter Nachrichten

Jazz pianists Gottfried Böttger and Joe Pentzlin in the Elbeforum – simply overwhelming.  Wonderful, the lightness and naturalness with which these two perfectly in-tune musicians pick up on each others’ every interpretational or improvisatory indication.
