A duo album released in 1985 by German vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid and German bassist Gunter Lenz. Lackerschmid, who has collaborated with artists such as Chet Baker, Stu Goldberg, and Joe Gallardo, also left an outstanding work in 1979 as the leader of the group Mallet Connection. Lenz, on the other hand, has worked with Albert Mangelsdorff and Peter Giger, as well as contributed to Mood Records as a member of the group Springtime. This album features recordings from a live performance at the jazz club Seekh in Konstanz in 1984. Alongside original compositions by both musicians, the set includes pieces by Gerry Mulligan and Tanya Henderson. Highlights include track A2, where Spanish-tinged melodies gracefully unfold, and track B1, which stands out with its slow, bluesy progression. Throughout the album, the vibraphone and bass create a warm and relaxed atmosphere, making for an exceptionally pleasant listening experience.
