"Original compositions between jazz, ditties and microtonal post-romanticism; hits from the 60s, marginal classics of the jazz repertoire (among others with old Dutch lyrics), a traditional song from Belarus, a Cologne march from the

30s, a peace song from the USA and a piece of music in which a programmable lithophone made of more than
200 stone slabs plays the leading role. All this in an always delicately unpredictable approach by eleven improvisers of the most diverse character, lovingly arranged by the ensemble's namesake, as well as warmly supported here and there by La Chorale Transcendentale.
