In these projects I basically use my Jazz guitars, preferable the Gibson L5, but sometimes also the Gibson 335 or the my 70ties Epiphone Emperor. To play the melodies with a fat Jazz tone, and to play light and groovy riffs is fun. And many people feel and like this kind of stuff.
Willi Langer was and still is the favorite bass player for this. The right drummers are Tommy Böröcz, Joris Dudli, Oliver Gattringer or Christian Lettner.
I played this music in the 80s live in clubs like „Roter Engel“, „America Latina“, „Opus One"or „Jazz by Freddy“. Vocal guests were Alee Thelfa or Rebecca (Kolland).
Stets inspiriert vom Geist der Zeit sind bis heute sieben Alben und ein "Best Of" erschienen. Mitte der 70er wurde diese Formation von Tommy Böröcz als Drummer und Claudius Jelinek als Gitarrist und Namensgeber gegründet. Die weiteren Mitglieder waren Hannes Seidl an den Tasten, der später auch bei der österreichischen Popband Minisex spielte, und Gogo Weinberger als Bassist. In weiterer Folge wurde mit dem damals noch sehr jungen Talent Andi Steirer an den Percussions der für dieses Land einmalig neue Sound perfekt.

End of the 1990s I was asked by Carl Urasch of the GLP Management to build and lead a band for the European concerts of Gloria Gaynor and for the Supremes as well. Basically we took the most of the members of Count Basic, which at the time was also managed by Georg Leitner Productions
So the basic line-up was Dirk Erchinger D, Willi Langer B, Dieter Kolbeck P, Bumi Fian TP, Martin Fuss Sax, Christian Radovan TB, and me on guitar. Additionally, we had Luis Ribeiro on Perc. as well as on background vocals: Iris Wiesner (Irida), Sumitra and Betty Semper) The first concert was in Switzerland, and in the next about ten years we did dozens of big concerts with Gloria in Europe, Africa and Asia (the Middle East ): Spain, France, Portugal, Denmark (Copenhagen) , Greece, Morocco (Casablanca), Dubai (the Emirates) and of course many in Austria und Germany. Sometimes we had substitutions in the line-up: on the late Drums - Oliver Gattringer (was even more often by him) or Christian Ziegelwanger. Bass: - Peter Gruber or Rue Kostron. Percussion - Stephan Maaß. Trumpet - Josef Burchartz. Franz Weyerer, Sax - Thomas Faulhammer, Stephan Öllerer, Trombone -Dominik Stöger, Werner Wurm Piano - Hannes Oberwalder, vocals - Jacqueline Patricio, Stella Jones, Tini Kainrath, Kim Cooper, Lynne Kieran. Andy Gabauer..
Around 2010 the idea came up, to make some recordings with Gloria and the Band. So I started thinking and composing....one very fitting song came out of this process: "Love Life". Gloria liked the song very much, but pity enough it never came to a recording because of organizational topics and the clearing of rights and finances....
That was practically also the time of the end of the cooperation with Gloria Gaynor (for other reasons...management and money) and the beginning of the independent life of the Rens Newland Band! I decided to use that song to feature another singer and soon I found and composed enough songs and lead vocalists to make a whole album: "Groove Generation" was born!
feat. Tini Kainrath, Chris Kisielewski, Stella Jones, Jacqueline Patricio, Andi Gabauer & more
All my life I was bounced back and forth between Jazz and Pop:
The first song I played on the guitar was "When The Saints", then I spent years with Beatles etc.. A few later my father brought a Jazz sampler from N.Y.
and I was fascinated by Charlie Parker and all these guys. In the same period I checked Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple, my band at the time played like this.
After that I was lucky to be able to play with Scope, a bunch of real good Jazz musicians; but this was in the beginning of the Fusion era, so we combined anyhow influences of Jazz, Funk and Rock! My next milestone was to play in the professional ORF Big Band, a Jazz band, so I could play from Be Bop to Bossa!
BUT: we also had to do these TV shows and recordings with lots of Pop. The same in the following period, when I did lots of studio work and commercials.
My own projects (combos under my name, Ostinato, Enfant Terrible..) were mainly Jazz or Fusion, but then again for example in working with Mr. Lionel Lodge
(who wrote half of the lyrics for this album by the way) I got into a Rock direction again! This all led logically into me being on stage with the great Gloria Gaynor,
playing big stages with my funky guitar and also doing the (basically European) musical direction and arranging for her. Here and at several other situations,
like playing musicals or miscellaneous concerts, I got to know a lot of great singers. So I had the inspiration to put my own ideas and compositions into a real poppy
FUNK & DISCO project with all these soloists. What you’re having in your hands now - and hopefully getting into your ears - is the result of gathering this material
over the last years! I hope you enjoy the songs, they try to make your day a bit better!

Feat. Ric Toldon
Rens Newlands Wurzeln liegen im 1960er Blues, dem Electric Blues von John Mayall,
Eric Clapton und in Holland von Cuby & the Blizzards oder Living Blues. Er hat in all seinen späteren Projekten und Stilen immer versucht, dieses tiefe Gefühl in der Musik zu bewahren. Es war dann auch kein großer Sprung nun darauf zurückzukommen und ein Blues-Album zu machen. Er und sein Freund Peter Gruber (Bassist) haben in den letzten Jahren immer wieder darüber gesprochen, dass sie so ein Projekt gemeinsam machen sollten! Jetzt in den Corona-Zeiten haben sie es endlich geschafft. Den richtigen Sänger zu finden ist nicht einfach, aber sie haben ihn gefunden:
Ric Toldon (auch Percussionist) ist ein cooler Amerikaner mit super Stimme, der in Wien lebt, der sogar Jimi Hendrix persönlich kennengelernt hat und z.B. dabei war in Woodstock und als die Stones in den USA spielten. Als Schlagzeuger war der junge Simon Springer ihre erste Wahl, ebenso Rens‘ Hauptkeyboarder Martin Wöss
für die Piano- und Synthie-Ergänzungen. Der Grundsound baut natürlich auf Mr. Newlands Gitarren auf. Hier verwendete er einige seiner liebsten Instrumente, wie Gibson ES 335 und L5, Fender Strato und Tele...Die Tracks zeigen die breiten Möglichkeiten des Blues in Form und Klang: Delta Blues, Funkblues, Jazzblues, Rockblues, Acoustic Blues und mehr. Ein paar Instrumentalstücke gehören natürlich auch zum Konzept! Die gesamte Musik stammt vom Bandleader, wie auch die meisten Texte. Einige Texte sind von Ric Toldon, wie „Sneeky C“, zynisch und mit Humor.

Eine musikalische Begegnung von zwei “Welten”: die Kontinente Europa und Afrika, wobei Rens Newland eher den europäischen Jazz und Rock vertritt,
Cloud Tissa den Afrobeat und Ragga! Auch Latin Beats (die ja in Amerika auch als Mischung von Euro- und Afro-Einflüssen entstanden!) sind ein Bestandteil dieser interessanten, positiven und variationsreichen Mixtur! Über einige Jahre hat Rens Musik aus seinen vielen Schätzen herausgesucht (oder auch neu komponiert), die geeignet sein könnte für den Ragga Style von Cloud. Der wiederum schrieb Texte dazu und so entstanden langsam jede Menge Songs, mehr als genug für ein Album.
Der Sound wird, ausser von der Stimme, von Cloud durch die Gitarren von Rens Newland bestimmt. Aufregende Beats (vom Drumcomputer, aber auch vom echten Schlagzeug, bei fast allen Stücken!) sind eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Feine vokale Gäste runden die Sache perfekt ab!

"FAMILY TRAX - 12 GUITAR DEDICATIONS TO MY TRIBE" (CD)
For me this is a very emotional and important project These are pieces dedicated to my children (3) and my grandchildren (9). With a vspecial composing system I melody modules, blocks or modules (how you like to call it), constructed out of their names Additionally I tried to weave their personalities, their characters, music tastes and moods into the compositions and arrangements. The musical styles go from Funk and Jazz to Rock and Hip-Hop, but all in my range of taste! Again I used a lot of different guitars out of my collection to get the right sound to each vision.
2020

"Tribe Trio Tracks" (CD)
These are basically trio versions of all the songs from my former "solo" album "Family Trax", which are dedicated to my people (my tribe). Here on these recordings we get it all a little more powerful, groovy and vivid by the added drums (one of the last recordings of Oliver Gattringer- he died 2022) and bass (Willi Langer). It brings up other essences of the characters he describes here. it's an unusual idea indeed to release two different versions of the same material! But it worked!
