In space with SatchmoIt is the true spirit of a band that counts for Ingolf B 4.

Featuring Ingolf Burkhardt (trumpet, flugelhorn), Vladyslav Sendecki (piano, keyboards), Paul Imm (bass) & Ian Thomas (drums).Recommended tracks: 1. Theme from Star Trek\u002F 2. Back where I belong\u002F 3. Blue Spanish Eyes\u002F 5. Asso-KamLike something strange from planet Zawinul the opening Theme From Star Trek comes floating in, while Back Where I Belong shows the outfits easy courage and talent in the fragile art of the dynamic while subtle ballad. More brilliantly lissome interplay on Asso-Kam, one of Joe Samples most conclusive compositions in terms of melody, while Al Martinos Blue Spanish Eyes, is being pushed easily next to mid-seventies Miles with equanimous humor.
