The moments when you discover the real treasures, long forgotten and covered with dust. And all they have been waiting for is to be found. The beginning is from a more recent time with the German Trio ELF and their album “Amsterdam”, recorded live in 2013 at the iconic Bimhuis, issued by Enja.

All people that grew up in a multi-cultural environment have a very special way of seeing the world, but also a very broad inner world. A world that has gone through many transformations until it found its true face. 

“The yellow album” by Mark Guiliana (Motema music 2019), that just recently came out on April 12th, found us at a rooftop terrace in Athens and literally blew us away. Despite the three promo singles, no one was ready for this one. Because the entry to another dimension is a fact here.

in 2013 we packed up our bags and flew to Basque country. And thanks to John Zorn’s music in particular, we got to see the unmeasurable wild beauty of the Basque coastline. Where hydrangeas are four meters tall, and so is the tide, and the atmosphere is still stuck in the 20’s of the 20 th century.

We continue the year with an incredible gift from some unbelievable musicians – Silver, Ilhan Ersahin’s latest project with Kenny Wollesen on drums, Eddie Henderson on trumpet and Juini Booth on bass(Nublu records 2019).

Today we are listening to Jamie Saft’s latest project with him on keys, Steve Swallow on bass and Bobby Previte on drums. “You Don’t Know the Life” came out a week ago on RareNoiseRecords. Why Saft again? That’s what I keep asking myself…And also – do we know life at all...
