The album features a transatlantic line up with German pianist Sebastian Sternal and USA based bassist Reuben Rogers and Clarence Penn on drums. Speaking about the line-up on the album Denis explained “This line-up first came together for a 2019 tour to perform the music from my last album. We were on the road for 14 days and the chemistry on and behind the stage was just right from the start.

The German saxophonist Denis Gäbel comes from a musical family, so it is no wonder that he began his musical journey at a young age. After taking his first musical steps with the cello and the piano, it wasn’t long before he finally discovered the saxophone. At the age of 13, Denis won first prize at the national competition “Jugend jazzt” and it was during this time that he first discovered the music of Charles Mingus. “I had my first contact with the music of Mingus at the age of 13 at the JungendJazzWorkshop NRW.
