The Hidden Port

The tape album "The Hidden Port" of the formation "Tommy Schneider & Friends" in the line-up Adrian Stern (guitars, percussion), Philippe Chrétien (saxophone) Massimo Buonanno (drums, percussion) and Tommy Schneider (Hammond organ, flute, percussion) was released in April 2023 as a master tape copy.

Warm sounds from blues, soul and swing, funk and Latino with rock elements from their guitar player. What’s Old Is New Again: Nothing sounds sonically better than professionally recorded reel-to-reel tape.

Stunning sound on audio reel tape!
