you can find this same infos about Titi in french at this link
http://www.djangostation.com/article.ph ... rticle=222
on this site you can find also biography of the musicians who played and play now with him,comments and extract of the records.
The style of Titi Winterstein is unique,he can play with an incredible energy and rhythm,as well as he can play the more sweet and "pianissimo" notes.He have a melodic sense of improvisation and a touch that make him to be not a "simple" virtuoso,but something more.
and on this forum i can also xprime my:
PERSONAL OPINION
Listening to his record and analizing the time in the cronology of them,
i note that the ones with Hans'che Weiss Quintett are very close one to another.In these albums,Titi have an amazing and virtuoso playng(ha was just 17)in wich he express energy and tecnique.
The natural evolution of the "enfant prodige" often bring this one to a poor
musical maturity and a perfection of tecnique. Is not the case of Titi and we can verify it in the albums with his own quintett in wich he show to be a great musician,growed up with the faculties of a virtuoso but without showing it more of the necessary,putting attencion on his arrangements and his own compositions as well as on the improvisations.
Ending i invite you all (in the case you haven't already done)to listen to this great musician!
