Sven Ratzke, a longtime fan of David Bowie, recorded this special tribute album in late 2015. With the recent news about the passing of “The Thin White Duke,” Sven’s New York performances (March 24 – April 3) will likely get extra attention. The CD release features some of the rock icon’s most recognizable and popular songs, as well as an intro by legendary author Arthur C. Clarke.

“On this album Wollny acknowledges his deep debt to Bill Evans, unspooling a series of impressionistic and harmonically unpredictable compositions that feature almost no swing and that rarely approach mid-tempo. It’s beautiful stuff, not only thoughtful but also thoughtprovoking.” — CD HOTLIST

“David Amram has done a magnificent job. The score is exactly what I wanted for the film. The music is almost sane sometimes … as the story is almost sane sometimes … And at other times, the music is in the trees, just like the movie. It is a great score!”
