Silly Bassist Hans-Jürgen Reznicek Reflects on Lifelong Musical Growth

The 71-year-old musician discusses his current tour, enduring passion for music, and evolving arrangements of Silly's classics.

Hans-Jürgen 'Jäcki' Reznicek emphasizes that a musician's career is a lifelong learning process, staying relevant by continually exploring new techniques and ideas.
Reznicek is currently touring with the band Silly across Eastern Germany, featuring unique acoustic arrangements of their classic hits.
The tour has been met with enthusiastic responses, with sold-out venues and additional dates added due to high demand.
Reznicek highlights the use of unconventional instruments, such as fretless bass, nylon-string guitars, and samba rhythms, to reimagine Silly's iconic songs.
Despite advancements in artificial intelligence, Reznicek asserts that live music's human connection and authenticity cannot be replicated by technology.
