Very happy about this release! I got to do a trio album with the amazing John Goldsby and my dad Ludwig Nuss. We have been playing together since more than ten years now and finally got to record an album together at the amazing Riverside Studios Cologne.

More Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Basie, Chick Webb et al, please!
