Description:
"My Focus - Live Under The Rainbow" is an impressive live CD by master guitarist Jan Akkerman that captures an atmospheric concert performance in outstanding sound quality. Recorded in an intimate club setting, the album presents Akkerman and his band in top musical form, combining melodic sensitivity with virtuosic improvisation. The tracklist focuses on his personal view on the music of Focus as well as related material, interpreted with a contemporary, powerful band sound. Dynamic arrangements, extended solo passages and nuanced interplay make this CD equally attractive for long-time fans and newcomers to Akkerman's work. The production highlights the warmth of the instruments and gives the listener the feeling of being directly in front of the stage. "My Focus - Live Under The Rainbow" is a stylistically diverse journey through progressive rock, jazz-rock and atmospheric, almost cinematic soundscapes - an ideal choice for listeners who appreciate sophisticated guitar music beyond genre boundaries.
Jan Akkerman, born in the Netherlands, is regarded as one of Europe's most influential guitarists and achieved international fame as a member of the band Focus in the 1970s. With albums like "Moving Waves" and worldwide hits such as "Hocus Pocus" and "Sylvia", he helped define progressive rock and became known for his distinctive combination of rock, jazz and classical influences. Over the course of his career, Akkerman has released numerous solo albums, collaborated with a wide variety of artists and repeatedly been praised in the music press for his technical precision and emotional playing. His solo work shows a wide stylistic range - from fusion and blues to more acoustic, intimate projects - and has earned him a loyal international fan base.
The CD is released by Music Theories Recordings, a label known for high-quality productions in the fields of rock, progressive rock, fusion and sophisticated guitar music. As part of the Mascot Label Group, Music Theories Recordings focuses on artists who combine instrumental mastery with strong songwriting and a clear artistic vision. The label has built up a reputation among audiophile listeners and genre fans for carefully produced albums, thoughtfully designed releases and a catalog that ranges from prog and art rock to jazz-rock and modern fusion.

Jan Akkerman in a live setting is a beautiful thing to behold, and on his new record, 'My Focus - Live Under the Rainbow,' you can absorb his technical mastery and tone, where it was born to live - on stage.
