Over het album

Klaus Koenig, jazz pianist and former sound engineer for the Swiss radio station SFR, made numerous recordings with his Jazz Live Trio for TCB Records. In 1998 he had to stop his musical activity due to an illness in both of his hands. After many years of therapy, the 2012-2013 season wtih the old/new Jazz Live Trio and the 2013-2014 season with the Seven Things quintet wtih Dani Schenker, Christoph Merki and the trio meant a return to the music scene. 'In comparison to our first quintet CD 'Piazza Rotonda', I tried to enhance the degree of the simple and the popular even further, to even more consciously avoid the complicated, artificial, even ambitious in the pieces for this second CD, well aware that it is not that easy to evade banality. The degree to which I managed to do this is up to you, the listeners.' - Klaus Koenig
