Thank you Ernst. This is an essential post because two of the five musicians are totally under recorded. Detlef Schönenberg who have a very small discography and Yoshiaki Fujikawa also. The sound is really acceptable for an audience recording. For those who are interested, Yoshiaki Fujikawa was the leader of the East Asia Orchestra, a totally crazy and fantastic big band of the eighties. Some of their lp have been reissued in Japan but they are oop now.

Never realized that this collaboration took place. Thank you!

And yes, basically a meeting of F.M.T. with the Christmann-Schönenberg Duo.
