I saw Don Menza at Jazzland at the times where I was in semi retirement due to some "just of those things"...., and he was great. 
Oliver Kent is a musical friend and I always state that he is my favourite piano player and composer here in Austria. 

On my homepage there is a pic of him an me getting copies of a jazz book.....
Johannes Strasser is one of the really really great bass players in Ausria. He had played with so many greats. Some highlight was a wonderful concert with Chet Baker. 
Strasser had played some gigs with me when we both were very very young in our earlie twens.....

I tried this one again, and took it out about 2/3 of the way through. The production kept rubbing me the wrong way. Just too much dub as well for me.

Her new record is pretty bland. I gave it a listen out of interest but didn't plan on revisiting.
