Description:

We are re-releasing the de facto last album by Hans Reichel, the inventor of the daxophone, who passed away in 2011. This album was released in 2002 on the German FMP label. Twenty years after its release, its innovative ideas and humor are still alive and well. Although it is called a daxophone operetta, it is a free, lively, and joyful album with a lot of guitar playing of his own compositions. You can imagine that the days of recording must have been very enjoyable. To present the album to the world in a new look, Kazuhisa Uchihashi and other friends of Hans, both public and private, have produced a booklet of over 30 pages. The jacket features a photograph (image) that Hans himself had prepared for his next album, making it a fitting album to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his death.
