Life Rhythm by Wolfgang Haffner

Discover the heartbeat of music with Wolfgang Haffner's latest album, Life Rhythm. As one of Europe's most acclaimed drummers and bandleaders, Haffner redefines the role of drums, making them the soul of his compositions rather than a showcase of virtuosity. Born from the inspiration of his solo concert at Schloss Elmau, Life Rhythm is a masterclass in musical drumming, blending warmth, power, and clarity.

With driving grooves, subtle electronics, and delicate brushwork, each song opens up a new world of musical exploration. Haffner's expert touch transforms the drum kit into a melodic force, making every beat both smooth and compelling.

Adding to the album's rich texture are guest musicians like saxophone icon Bill Evans, Sting’s guitarist Dominic Miller, Balkan beat star Shantel, refined bassist Nicolas Fiszman, oud virtuoso Thomas Konstantinou, jazz guitarist Bruno Müller, and Haffner’s long-time friend Nils Landgren.
