A very rare event –
the pleasure to join experienced musicians falling into the charming mood of just making music together –free from any professional formalism.
You get two hours of inspired live atmosphere in Switzerland´s finest Jazzclub.

The audience, young and old, in honest ovations with sometimes hidden tears –
and Christian Willisohn with traditionals “out of the Jazzyard“ and a range of early and recent compositions of his own.

A real résumé of his work as a performer, arranger, pianist and composer –
and last and not least an affectionate singer, intensively supported by the friendship of brilliant musicians around him - subtly phrasing guitarist Titus Vollmer, body drumming Rick Hollander and the light handed bass of Rocky Knauer.

Until now, I would say, this is the wild trump in Christian Willisohn´s recording career.
