"AS PROMISED" Recorded 1992 in New York City with pianist Peter Madsen, bassist Peter Herbert and drummer Pheeroan AkLaff Reviews: "In Wehinger's sound one can hear an approach reflecting the European flute tradition along with a keen understanding of the myriad complexities and emotions that exist in the African-American musical tradition." -- JAMES NEWTON, 1993 "...eine abwechslungsreiche und durchgehend spannende CD..." -- STEREOPLAY, 1993 "Wehinger nous offre un bel album, marqué du début à la fin par la limpidité et la somptuosité du son de sa flûte." -- COMPACT DISC MAGAZINE, 1993 Günter Wehinger, born in Austria where he earned a conservatory degree in 1982, subsequently moved to the USA in 1987 to study with the great James Newton in Los Angeles. After a two year period in San Francisco he returned to Europe. He dove into a musical career that has included both jazz and classical performances as well as intensive teaching duties (Music Universities of Zürich and Basel). Wehinger‘s flute ranges from pristine and romantic lyricism to hair-raising multiphonics, screams and groans. Today he is one of the premier flutists in contemporary jazz. He released six CDs as a leader or co-leader with top notch musicians like Art Lande, Michael Cain, Peter Madsen, Anthony Cox, Peter Herbert, Pheeroan AkLaff, Paul McCandless and Marek Balata. When on tour in Europe or in the United States he is regularely invited to give master-classes or workshops at colleges and music universities (New England Conservatory, San Francisco State University, Florida State University, CU Denver and Boulder...). Wehinger is also a prolific composer. He wrote music for string-orchestra and various ensembles where he combines jazz and classical music.
