Choices is a 2004 album released by the Kruger Brothers on Double Time Music. The Swiss-American trio—Uwe Kruger (guitar, vocals), Jens Kruger (banjo), and Joel Landsberg (bass)—delivers an ambitious program that reflects the breadth of their musical imagination: original compositions sit alongside traditional material and unexpected stylistic excursions. By 2004 the Krugers had established themselves as regulars on the acoustic festival circuit and consistent contributors to the IBMA community. Jens's banjo playing, with its classical-fingering precision and jazz-informed phrasing, lends Choices an intellectual rigor that complements Uwe's expressive vocals, producing an album that defies easy genre categorization while remaining firmly rooted in acoustic string music.
