Diknu Schneeberger was born Jan.17 1990 in Vienna, Austria. This young and exceptional Gipsy guitar player confirms on his 2nd album, that he developed from „talent“ to an integrated part of the absolute top jazz music scene. It all started with learning to play the guitar in two(!) years, getting the Hans Koller Prize 2006 - Talent of the Year! - , releasing his first CD „Rubina“ (2007) and having a live WDR-TV broadcasting of his concert at the Leverkusener Jazztage! From that point he is touring extremely successful with his Trio in the German speaking countries and giving several concerts in France and England as well! The direction of the first album is continued here on the second, but much optimised: Diknu combines perfect techniques with frisky looseness, natural musical and melodic feeling with virtuosity! Here and there he adds some Spanish and Latin-American influences to the Gypsy Sound, that makes the whole thing very positive, as also his working on stage is always felt! Brilliant the now even more tightened performance of the trio with father Joschi b and Martin Spitzer rhythm g and a very nice choice of tunes, specially made just in time for the "Django"-year: they succeeded to catch his spirit in a perfect way!
