Wolfgang Schalk plays handmade strings by THOMASTIK-INFELD
“...Schalk has garnered international acclaim as a talented composer and guitarist. His style is smooth and his sound exudes a harmonious and melodic voice that's familiar and warm...(which is reminiscent of early an George Benson, with its rapid solo and chord runs)...The jazz guitar is a most beautiful and underrated instrument, and it’s nice to hear it in the hands of a capable musician such as Wolfgang Schalk." - Allaboutjazz
“Schalk's music today...defies strict classification. This isn't to say that his pieces are radically altering the fabric of jazz playing as we know it, only that Schalk refuses to paint himself in a corner, a feat which can be very easy for a jazz guitarist." - JAZZIZ
“The guitarist comes with a new album, which is reminiscent of Pat Metheney's hippest record sessions...Wolfgang Schalk plays a dominant modern jazz guitar... An experienced composer, Schalk adds to the 'modern standard book' with his original compositions. Rainbows in the Night is an outstanding jazz guitar record." - Concerto [four stars out of five]
“The guitarist's pieces are marked by an open attitude and a bit of gloss and each side of the equation makes the music memorable." - The Village Voice
