A leader album by German guitarist Stephan Diez, released in 1978 on the jazz label Ego, run by Joe Haider. The quartet features Gary Todd (bass), Todd Canedy (drums), and Ack Van Rooyen (flugelhorn), with Joe Haider as the producer. This high-quality contemporary jazz piece is dominated by the cool atmosphere characteristic of the Ego label, with Stephan Diez’s flowing guitar playing standing out beautifully. The acoustic guitar solos are also incredibly soothing, making this an outstanding album. Highly recommended for those who enjoy ECM’s guitar jazz, such as Bill Connors or Ralph Towner. Original German pressing.
