The string magician Zed Mitchell
He has the ability to play every string of a guitar with a personal touch. Thus, the string magician lets his instrument sometimes rock, then sound virtuosic or weave melancholic sound carpets. When Zed Mitchell plays, blues music resounds with an inspiring facet.
The guitarist, singer and composer Zed Mitchell, who comes from the former Yugoslavia, is one of the most famous and important guitarists in Europe. His life story is so varied and inspiring that many a guitar player wishes he could lead just such a life: Always fascinated by his instrument, he played as a teenager with some bands quite famous in the former Yugoslavia on many stages and acquired his still distinctive playing.
Finally, in 1970, the decision was made to dedicate his life to music and so he wrote, sang and played with all passion together with his band "Land". And just four years later they scored their first international single hit with "Shoshana". Television appearances and radio interviews followed this great success - and finally Zed Mitchell played for several years throughout Europe as a support act on the tours of Focus, Deep Purple or Ian Gillian. This time shaped his playing. He began to mix rock music and blues notes, explored the limits of his instrument and developed a new, stubborn power blues, which even then was able to perfectly capture and implement moods. The fact that Zed Mitchell was able to develop his own musical language is also due to the encounters and work on projects from that time as a studio musician. Many outstanding producers such as Malcolm Luker or film composer Nick Glennie-Smith, in turn the right hand of two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, accompanied him on his way and led to a constant further development of his nimble finger playing and the sensitive way to elicit specific, set notes from the strings of the guitar.
Artists like Eros Ramazotti or Natalie Cole appreciated these skills and booked the string magician for their studio recordings. German stars also rely on Zed Mitchell's outstanding playing style. Mitchell finally celebrated one of his greatest successes with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, for which he recorded all acoustic and electric guitars and whose CD sold more than a million copies. He is proud to have been immortalized with his guitar playing on the soundtrack of the blockbuster Indian Jones or to have played as a support act with his band for world stars such as Joe Cocker, Santana and B.B. King.
Together with many musical friends of the blues and rock scene in Germany, Zed Mitchell released his album "Springtime in Paris" in 2008, followed by "Summer in L.A." in 2010, " Autmn in Berlin" in 2014 and " Winter in Amsterdam" in 2016. In September 2018, the new CD "WOW" was released! In these albums, the elegance and perfect craft of the string magician is evident: played with rousing precision, celebrated with sensitivity and empathy or interpreted fiery and expressive, Zed Mitchell builds musical castles with numerous facets for dancing, rocking or melancholic drifting. The dynamics of his dexterity and the pronounced joy of playing are palpable in every note, if not within reach, and show that as a professional musician he is a perfect master of his craft in all genres.
So it's not surprising that Zed Mitchell's expertise and flair have made him one of the "most wanted" musicians in Germany to this day. Music lovers, insiders and other artists count him among the top of the blues scene and mention his name in the same breath as artists like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Gary Moore or Robert Cray. And whoever has experienced Zed Mitchell live with his charming manner, whoever has heard the blues in the notes he plays, knows why this is so.
