Marius Peyer, drums, percussion; Christian
Weber, bass; Flo Stoffner, guitar
A well recorded session featuring a diverse selection of standards, from
Gershwin's "The Man I Love," through Berlin's "White Christmas"
(!), Roger and Hammerstein's "We Kiss in the Shadows" to more
modern tunes such as Albert Ayler's "Ghosts," Monk's "Bye-ya,"
and Prince's "Sometimes it snows in April." The rhythm sections
plays sympathetically and intelligently behind Stoffner's solos which bear
the marks of both Metheny and Abercrombie. On the more adventurous tracks
such as "Ghosts," Stoffner displays more of his own sound, although
the influence of guitarists such as David Torn can be heard. Somewhat well
mannered, yet the high level of the playing keeps ones interest.
