Bernd Lhotzky hat eine eindrucksvolle musikalische "Herkunft" und spielte schon mit Jazzgrösse wie Ralph Sutton und Dick Hyman. Außerdem hat er ernome musikalische Erfahrung gesammelt, indem er Theater- und Filmmusik komponiert und arrangiert hat. Auf diesem Album zeigt er seine volle Reife, sein Spiel ist eindrucksvoll, seine Ideen sind frisch und sinnträchtig und seine Ausführung fehlerlos. Abwechslungsreiche Harmonien und Rhythmen und starke Tempi mit sanftem Swing - alles scheint einfach und ohne Anstrengung.
