Hilton Schilder :: Birsigstrasse 90 Live


Hilton Schilder performing at "The Night of the Schilder" in Cape Town on 16 April 2015. The event at Loop Street's Eye marked the 7-inch vinyl release of the single "Rebirth" from the eponymous solo-piano album. This surprise pop-up performance accompanied a listening party that took in Schilder's back catalogue (Genuines, Goema Captains, Hilton Schilder Group, RockArt, All In One) and included recordings by his father Tony (Tony Schilder Trio) and uncle Ebrahim (Chris Schilder Quartet, Pacific Express). "Birsigstrasse 90" appears on the Rebirth album and was composed at the song's namesake address in Basel, Switzerland.
