Tape Five are combining many different music styles, from elegant swing, electroswing to bossanova, latino and nu-jazz. When Martin Strathausen started this project, he was already a successful musician (known for jingles in advertising). In 1999 he met the English singer Henrik Wager in Germany, the idea was born, but it took them another 4 years to realize this project.
