Jacques Stotzem combines a sophisticated and highly individual playing technique with a fine feeling for the right melody. His virtuosity as a fingerstyle guitar player is always at the service of the music, his sensitive feeling for breaks and dynamics makes his pieces breathe and speak directly to the listener. At their expense are the friends of acoustic guitars who love variety and at the same time individuality: the tenderness of a ballad follows the earthy power of the blues, the soft smile of a mischievous rag follows the colorful passion of jazzy harmonies. All this is held together by Stotzem's perfect mastery of the instrument and his optimistic personality. His music is as distinctive as his fingerprint. Saulenkollege Larry Coryell about Jacques: "What he plays is pure music. As an instrument he uses the guitar, which he very, very well mastered. "
