The lineup features Wolfgang Engstfeld on saxophone, known for his work with groups such as Jazztrack and Changes as well as collaborations with Michel Herr, along with Christof Lauer on saxophone, Ed Kroger on piano, Peter Bockius on bass, and Peter Weiss on drums. Highlights include A1, where saxophone and marimba lightly intertwine their melodies over a fast-moving samba rhythm, and the title track A3, whose gentle waltz beat creates a moody, nocturnal atmosphere like a veil of night fog. An excellent work of European contemporary jazz carrying forward the spirit of post-bop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA1: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260618\/OMH26010654_a1.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSamba di Commerce\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260618\/OMH26010654_a3.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBalzwaltz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53097965453536,"sku":"OMH26010654","price":1980.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_0866.jpg?v=1781690520","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/mallet-connection-balzwaltz-1","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
