Michael Sagmeister - Story Board (2021)

With Story Board, fusion guitarist Michael Sagmeister opens a new chapter in his almost inexhaustible creativity and creative power.

The musical plot: This time the master himself is responsible for every chord, every solo, every bass and every groove. Because for the first time Sagmeister took over the guitar parts as well as the bass, keys, drums and the percussion programming himself. And so convincing and impressive that you immediately want more of it. In some passages his musical dialogues are only enriched by Antonella Dorio, whose vocal sound collages fit seamlessly into the tonal density created by Sagmeister. The string acrobat on STORY BOARD has added eleven original compositions and three arrangements, including a wonderful homage to Dizzy Gillespie's “Night in Tunisia”, to his almost inexhaustible repertoire.

The result is a brilliant fusion album full of musical intensity, playful virtuosity and artistic creativity, where one would like to say once again: The only thing that doesn’t surprise you about Michael Sagmeister is that he always surprises you.
