about this recording:

In 1996, Bernhard Schullan moved to Bamberg. That was an inducement for him to look for fellow musicians for a jazz band; after telling the pianist and keyboard player Günter Schmuck of his plans, and soon after the double bass player Christian Hellwich (member of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra). From swing via Latin to modern jazz including expeditions into more open spaces, they have covered the whole spectrum of jazz in many performances and rehearsals, in this way developing into a perfectly attuned hot rhythm group. More than 10 years after the trio was founded, the time has come to record its musical activities on sound storage media; this CD with a mix of standards in various styles with their own arrangements is the beginning. As this kind of jazz simply sounds especially authentic with a wind player as the front man, the choice fell unanimously on Christoph Hörmann, who had already joined the band members on stage for various projects and always aroused enthusiasm with his cultivated sound and wonderful saxophone lines.
