Raphael Wressnig was 28 at the time of this recording but is already considered one of Europe's top jazz organists.

Three numbers add either tenor saxophonist Craig Handy or Christian Bachner, two others have the team of trumpeter Eric Bloom and tenorman Sax Gordon, and the remaining two find percussionist Luis Ribeiro making the group a quartet.
