Music for sextet and string quartet. All compositions and arrangements by Michel Herr.

Michel Herr received the Sabam Jazz Award for this album.
With Bert Joris (trumpet/flugelhorn), Paul Heller (tenor sax), Peter Hertmans (guitar), Nathalie Loriers (piano), Sam Gerstmans (double bass), Dré Pallemaerts (drums) and the string quartet : Benoît Leseure (vl 1), Pierre Heneaux (vl 2), Jean-François Durdu (viola) and Merryl Havard (cello).

"Michel Herr is delivering another masterpiece, combining his composing/arranging skills with the talents of great improvisers, and a string quartet. "
Philippe Baron
, radio host on RTBF radio (B).

"In the end, however, it is Herr's arrangements -the deft application of strings to a straight-ahead jazz setting, the balance between solo and ensemble voices- that makes the greatest impression...with this fine tentet he has produced an album of considerable beauty."
Ian Patterson, Allaboutjazz.com
