Recorded live on October 10, 2004 at Birdland Jazzclub, Hamburg, by Dieter Reichert. This sextet plays in the great tradition but levitates it with their own inventiveness, which is what Basie, Lester Young, Buck Clayton, Jo Jones and the others did as a matter of course. The one direct emulation of a recording - Jesper Thilo's version of Lester's magnificent solo on the Jones-Smith, Inc. Lady Be Good - is beyond criticism.
