Spirit 'n' Jazz - Can you see...?

„Can you see...?" reflects the need of these musicians to create music that comes from the heart and feeds the soul. The eleven tracks are a collection of improvised band-pieces, which range from the high energy "Voice of Reason" to the intimate duo of "Dad and I".

Having worked together on various music projects this team is moving into Jazz. The idea behind the music is the exploration of themes, not restricted by text or time, motifs of love and hope, which can be felt in every tone and pause.

Background thoughts can be found in the booklet with references to great books of faith, the Bible and the Koran.

Jazz moving into an international and expressive language touching all of us deep inside.

Derek Crehan plays a passionate guitar from blues to jazz while Gunter Hauser`s expressive free piano style is moving emotions. Richard Evans on drums drives forward and holds the pieces sensitively together and the soft trombone of Paul Douglas retains the earth contact. Which is absolutely necessary when the haunting vocal of Leyla Tugal on "Can you see...?" is taking you up and away.

There is a special spirit at the heart of these tracks, especially noticeable on "Dad and I". A sparse, sensitive piano and guitar arrangement telling a story of a family relationship.

These tracks are more than music only, these jazzy guys forget about everything, when they are playing...
