"Calm and freedom are the greatest goods." The famous jazz musician Manfred Schoof (trumpet and flügelhorn) and Rainer Brüninghaus (piano, keyboards) like to interact with Beethoven. The music on this CD could be described as pastel drawings with bizarre, dissonant polytonal lines, whose gently calmly pulsating sound current seems to reflect the quiet beauty of untouched landscapes at dusk.
