2017 live release. Having released two studio albums and having played countless concerts, Get Up! Live at the ATrane is the first live album of the Fusion quartet B3. The Berlin-based musicians present themselves in one of Germany's most renowned jazz clubs having a lot of fun playing and combining elements from Jazz, Rock, Funk and Blues with skills and virtuosity. The special thing about is that the band plays almost exclusively new songs! In this way Get Up! Live at the A-Trane is not a usual live record but a unique snap-shot of previously unreleased songs! Both Rock and Jazz fans get their money's worth. Two big unknown known of the music scene form the core of this perfectly harmonizing group: keyboarder, composer and music producer Andreas Hommelsheim and guitarist and singer Ron Spielman. You may not know their names but you have certainly listened to their music in one way or another. Bandleader Hommelsheim played with Alphonse Mouzon, John Lee and Gerry Brown, shared the stage with Kool & the Gang and worked with stars such as Nena, Nina Hagen, Jan Delay, Smudo, Max Raabe, Ofrah Haza, Ute Lemper and Jennifer Rush. As an award-winning musical director of countless German versions of famous movies, he worked in all renowned studios in the world together with greats such as Andrew Lloyd Webber and Hans Zimmer. As the producer of the original German soundtrack of The Lion King he received a Gold Record. A powerful voice and an electrifying guitar playing, that is what makes Ron Spielman's performances a cult. Since decades fans have appreciated the distinctive and virtuoso guitar playing and the excellent songwriting of this unique musician.
