Also Record of the Month in JazzPodium May 2021
APRIL 2021
My Solo-CD ‚TO BE FRANK“ is Record of the Month in German Gitarre & Bass Magazine.
Here’s a Video Teaser for my new Solo CD ‚to be frank‘
FEBRUARY 2021
My Solo-CD ‚TO BE FRANK“ is finally released at BERTHOLD RECORDS.
8 Standards, 1 own composition and 6 free improvisations on 7 string guitars, no overdubs, pure playing! I’m very proud to present the results of several years of polyphonic, multi-layered solo guitar research.
Das ist, bitte, eine Herausforderung, die handwerklicher und musikalisch-kompositorischer Expertise ohnegleichen bedarf, ohne Gags und Gimmicks, ohne Netz und doppelte Böden. Wingold suchte diese Herausforderung, nahm sie an – ein Soloprogramm aus 15 eigenen Stücken, Standards und Improvisationen – und bestand sie summa cum laude: ein Meisterwerk, moderne Solo-Jazzgitarre von olympischen Format.
This is a challenge that requires unparalleled technical and musical-compositional expertise, without gags and gimmicks, without any safety net or second bottom. Wingold was looking for this challenge, accepted it – a solo program of 15 own pieces, standards and improvisations – and passed it summa cum laude: a masterpiece, modern solo jazz guitar of Olympic format

Something completely different for a change: In September a new piece of mine for Chamber Orchestra and electric guitar was performed.

In november I will be in India again. Not with AGOG this time but with the „Black Dog Guitar Nights“. Four guitarists play solo, a few duos and a in the end one or two guitar quartet pieces. The other guitarists are Dylan Fowler (walisian folk), Dave Goodman (acoustic Blues, Singer-/Songwriter) and Eric Vaarzon Morell (Flamenco). So it´s not mainly a jazz event, a rather unique situation for me, very exciting, I´m looking foreward to do this. We will play in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad, so we will have every day domestic flights, press conferences in the afternoon for the sponsors and concerts in the evening. I will report about the tour here.
