Review by Felecia Scott

Mallet Connection, the latest album by Wolfgang Lackerschmid, is a mesmerizing journey through the world of jazz fusion. The album features Lackerschmid's signature style of playing the vibraphone and marimba, which creates a unique sound that is both soothing and invigorating.

The album consists of nine tracks, each with its own distinct flavor and rhythm. Lackerschmid is joined by a talented group of musicians, including bassist John Goldsby, drummer Billy Hart, and saxophonist Harry Sokal, who add depth and complexity to the compositions.

The opening track, "Dance of the Fireflies," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and intricate melodies. Other standout tracks include "Samba for Joe," a tribute to jazz legend Joe Henderson, and "The Windmills of Your Mind," a beautiful rendition of the classic song.

Throughout the album, Lackerschmid's virtuosity on the vibraphone and marimba is on full display. His solos are both technically impressive and emotionally expressive, showcasing his deep understanding of the music and his instrument.
