High Season for Drumming Artists by Hans Hielscher They are called the “Heart and the Engine” of Bands- and that’s even an undertstatement... "The drummers precision and flawless execution is the most important thing, everything depends on it on stage…The new excellent CDs by Manu Katche, Marilyn Mazur,... proves this point… New York is the most happening place with a lot of great musicians, but is it possible to survive there? Mr. Finger tried and succeeded in doing. After a classical University education and good jobs in the German jazz scene and teaching positions at several Conservatories the passionate drummer moved 2001 to NY. He had connections via playing with US stars and contacts to famous drummers…Right now he ‘s playing in several ensembles, teaching, composing, writing for the “Modern Drummer” Magazine; his CD "Merge Into Beauty" (http://www.christianfinger.com) received great reviews from American Jazz magazines; "A fantastic CD" says his famous colleague Bill Drummond. This year he’ll be touring Europe w/ the great Rich Perry.
