In Germany, Mr. Hammond and Michael Falkenstein is a synonym. Who ever
visited the Hammond booth on the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, will know him
as the agent of Hammond Suzuki for Germany and Austria and as the vivacious player
sitting at the New B-3, striking some chords and explaining the instrument.
And when "the prince of soul", as James Brown called him, starts swinging
and grooving, it gets hot in the small booth, visitors are clapping hands
and start sweating, not only from the heat indoors.
High Heel Sneakers, Michael's second CD, gives an impression of this
Musikmesse feeling (you have to supply the heat indoors yourself). Michael
creates a blend of soul and funk, which is - in spite of all examples Michael had -
unique to him. Tunes of the Pop ("Satisfaction"), Soul ("What I'd Say")
and Gospel ("Motherless Child") scenes are the ingredients of which Michael
mixes this appetizing Hammond cake. You will long for more.
