Song: Bahia Dawn
Album:Laguna de la Vera
German pianist Bernward Koch has had success in the New Age market. The 1993 album Lahina de la Vera established him and he has been churning out albums ever since. I suppose his music could be classified as Smooth Jazz but his label specializes in New Age. He was born Jan 23, 1957 in Siegen/Westfalen, Germany. His father played accordion. As a teen he played french horn and trumpet until his father bought him a piano. He studied music in Cologne and toured with his jazz rock band The Brothers. In 1989 he signed with Erdenklang owned by jazz pianist Ulrich Rutzel and released his 1989 debut album Flowing. Laguna de la Vera was released in 1992. Koch plays all the instruments except drums by his brother Christoph Koch and flute by Christiane Bohm. The album was picked up in the US by Higher Octave and it did well in the New Age chart. Koch has recorded for Real Music since 1999. They specialize in New Age. His latest CD released this year was Filled With Light. It's not my kind of music but some swear that it helps them relax. Here's a video for Bahia Dawn by Bernward Koch.
