As the year ends, I just want to say thank you.
To everyone who listened, shared, saved, and supported my music - and to everyone who played with me, collaborated, and helped behind the scenes: I’m grateful.
Half a million streams this year means a lot. And in 2026, I’m hoping to bring this music to more stages and real live moments.
Thanks for being here. 🤍 Michael 🎹
The German pianist and composer Michael Friedinger is back with a beautiful seasonal single called "Winter Joys." It adds a new twist to winter's music. Friedinger's latest album, "First Snow at Night," was a look back at the beauty and peace of snow. Now, he invites listeners into a world of bright, fun energy, a sunny winter day brought to life in smooth jazz.

@mfriedingerkeys releases “Winter Joys” — an upbeat, swinging smooth-jazz track that captures the energy and brightness of a sunny winter day, filled with snow, nostalgia, and a warm touch of holiday spirit.
This winter… one small red piano returns for its most joyful role yet…
From the creator of “First Snow at Night”
comes a new brighter, warmer chapter - nostalgic and elegant, yet modern and swinging…

This time around, the wonderful talents of Fabiano Pereira on guitar, Axel Kühn aka Mr. First Take (you might want to ask him about that) on double bass, and Andy Schoy on drums (and jingling all the way) join me on piano, keyboards, and a few other bits and pieces.
I also wrote, arranged, and produced the song, and it was mixed and mastered once again by the incomparable Eugen Sagel@UmamiSound .
Give it a listen, add it to your playlists—may it make your winter a little lighter and brighter—enjoy!
Thanks for sharing, saving, and recommending!
