René Krömer: I wanted to record this wonderful melody by Duke Ellington in a bluesy ballad feel with plenty of space. The harmonica and piano share the theme and the improvisation, while the rhythm section lays the striking foundation.

Another happy release day! A composition that René Krömer wrote for his girl friend's deceased cat: "I know from my own experience how much a pet can grow on you, and when Franka became an old and sick lady and had to be put to sleep, I had the spontaneous wish to dedicate a song to her. She was a very gentle and noble creature." - Rene Kroemer

.....we (Thilo Berg Big Band) used to play once a month at the JUZ in Kaiserslautern. Here is a photo from 1987, with guest soloist Barbara Dennerlein (org.), who by the way is celebrating her birthday today. I'm kind of flying across the club to get closer to her and possibly wish her a happy birthday!

.....here you find a track feat. Claus Stötter (flghn). The arrangement is by Chris Walden (then still Christian Schulz) and is one of his early works. Today Chris is one of the "Top of the Range" composers/arrangers (7 Grammy nominations, 6 gold album awards, 5 platinum album awards) and lives and works in Los Angeles. From time to time Chris has also helped out as a trumpet player in my big band. Chris has faced the toughest competition by moving to Hollywood. He has earned a fantastic reputation, - but never with the "knife between his teeth". Always helpful and very likeable! Claus Stötter has been a member of the NDR Big Band since 1999.
