Since its release in October 07 the CD has featured on playlists of Germany´s high culture radio SWR2 and selected Jazz Clubs, where it has been received well. It is currently on airplays on radio stations in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Swiss, USA etc.
The pieces are living on improvisation and emotional expression, the focus is on authenticity of emotion coming from the personal background of each band-member. These musicians forget about everything when they are playing. Derek Crehan plays a passionate guitar from Blues to Jazz while Gunter Hauser’s free piano style pushes the emotions. Richard Evans on drums sensitively holds the pieces together and the soft trombone of Paul Douglas puts roots into the earth, which is absolutely necessary when the haunting vocals of Leyla Tugal on “Can you see...?” are taking you up and away.
The sound of this CD comes to the listener in a warm and direct way and remains absolutely transparent - a high quality realisation of the concept.
