MARK ANDEREGG

Desde que Marc Anderegg era capaz de sentarse,movió sus dedos para tocar a la música de piano.Comenzó a tomar clases de música clásica a la edad de 11 -, pero su pasión era el boogie-woogie desde el principio. "Siempre quise crear mi propio estilo", dice, sabiendo que el trabajo duro ayudaría a allanar el camino. "Soy un perfeccionista! Mi madre siempre estaba feliz cuando en dejaba de de practicar en algún  momento." Una considerable colección de discos de su padre le permitió estudiar el boogie-woogie con  estrechoa detalle. Una vieja grabadora le ayudó -. A pesar de que tocó  una clave menor que la que los pianistas estaban tocando .En sus innumerables viajes para ver una banda de rock and roll llamada "El JackyS" dio Marc Anderegg la oportunidad no sólo de escuchar, sino también, sobre todo, de ver. Su padre conocía a  Jacky personalmente - por lo que no fue una sorpresa que Marc Anderegg hizo su primera aparición pública en una de las sesiones matinales de Jacky. Otras apariciones especiales con los JackyS lo trajeron a la atención de un público más amplio, y sus primeras apariciones en solitario pronto siguieron. Jacky lo apoyó, sobre todo cuando firmó su primer contrato de grabación con Canaris Records en 1990. Poco tiempo después, Marc fundó el Marc Anderegg Trio.

The beginning

Since Marc Anderegg was able to sit down, he moved his fingers to piano music. He began taking classical music lessons at the age of 11 - but his passion was boogie-woogie from the start. "I always wanted to create my own style," he says, knowing that hard work would help pave the way. "I'm a perfectionist! My mother was always happy when I actually stopped practicing at any stage." His father's considerable record collection enabled him to study boogie-woogie in close detail. An old tape recorder helped him - even though it played half a key lower than the key that the pianists were playing in. His countless trips to watch a rock and roll band called "The Jackys" gave Marc Anderegg the opportunity not only to listen, but also above all to watch. His father knew Jacky personally - so it was no surprise that Marc Anderegg made his first public appearance at one of Jacky's matinee performances. Further guest appearances with the Jackys brought him to the attention of a wider public, and his first solo appearances soon followed. Jacky supported him, especially when he signed his first recording contract with Canaris Records in 1990. A short while afterwards, the Marc Anderegg Trio was founded.

The left hand

Marc Anderegg always wanted to find his own path. "When people hear me on the radio, they always say: 'I'm absolutely sure that it's you that I've heard. I know your way of playing'." From the early days, he was always interested in the left hand - the bass hand - which was always the first thing he learned from a boogie number. It was astonishing to discover the various ways in which pianists played their accompaniment. Over the years, Marc Anderegg took different elements from various bass accompaniment styles, and moulded them together to discover his own new style. His own direction and trademark playing emerged as a result. "When crowds see me live, I hear quite a lot of things, such as: 'I've never seen such a left bass hand!'" The extraordinary figures played by the right hand in combination with the virtuoso-style left hand accompaniment create a high-class boogie inferno. "A strong left hand is important," he explains. "It sets the groove and beat of a good boogie-woogie number." Marc Anderegg has graced the stage now for over 25 years. His career has been notable for countless live shows in Switzerland and abroad, as well as radio and TV appearances. His successes have stretched from Indonesia (Bali, Java) to Denmark and Germany. A composer as well as a musician, his immediately recognisable sound comes through in his numerous own compositions, which can be heard on five CD releases so far. More CDs are in the pipeline. As a solo artist, playing in a duo or trio, or with guest musicians, Marc Anderegg is, and will remain a guarantee for straight- line und rousing boogie-woogie sounds. There's only one thing left to say - The Show Must Go On!
