Trumpeter Eick has been heard on previous albums by Iro Haarla and Manu Katche and has won several prestigious awards.

On this, his second ECM disc, the core group is a quintet with two drummers but for contrast there are also two trio pieces and two more with guest appearances by tenor player Tore Brunborg.

Highlights for me include Edinburgh, inspired by Jan Garbarek, and Joni.
