Album Notes & Community Reviews

Before abruptly vanishing from the music industry entirely, the profoundly talented German pianist delivered this exquisitely swinging, highly refined studio session for Blue Note. The remarkably relaxed, airy arrangements are perfectly suited for the famously smooth, Lester Young-influenced tenor saxophone work of Zoot Sims. The impeccably tasteful recording stands as a highly cherished, ultimately poignant final statement from a brief but brilliant career.
