In the organizer's words:

Still Waters (Record Release)

World-class European jazz: flowing, multi-layered, full of picturesque instrumental lyricism

From the Black Forest via Berlin and New York to London - Niklas Lukassen unites exciting individualists from the jazz scenes of Amsterdam, London, Paris and Berlin in his internationally renowned quartet with alto saxophonist Ben Van Gelder, pianist Ivo Neame and drummer Francesco Ciniglio. Like water, the ensemble makes its way through multi-layered realms in flowing improvisations - only to cause huge waves to crash when they deliberately collide.
