After Jazz Ascona | Jan Luley Trio

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT

With our quintet Centerpiece we joined the festival for five days. The repertoire at the "center of jazz" with swing and bebop of the 40/50ies was well received by the audience. They liked our arrangements of musical pearls of this era, played with drive and high energy. The sweat was running on all outside stages, but we had a lot of fun together. This festival is one of the nicest in all of Europe.

Since we recorded all in the same room, there was no chance to cut or overdub anyth
