Today, the unity of musical styles is only apparent or only exists at a very great distance... What is important, what brings us together, are the human connections when the various paths, whether for a shorter or longer period, meet and cross. It is these encounters that create genre, style, quality.

It is perhaps this sense of quality that binds the five musicians together. Having explored the myriad trends of jazz and classical music, the need to develop their own language and their own voice becomes the most important common programme in this band. In the spirit of Wittgenstein, they seek and find the true reality of music-making on the borderland between written and free music, where the boundaries of constraint and the freedom of imagination meet. The evening's programme will be shaped by personal impressions from progressive jazz, classical and contemporary music, reflecting the performers' diverse sources of experience.
