Eugen Cicero – Piano
J.A Rettenbacher – Bass
Joe Nay – Drums

You could be forgiven for thinking, “ho hum, some jazz on the piano” – NOT SO! For sure, Eugen is dominant on these recordings but he keeps shifting style within songs from some “traditional jazz” to very funky sounding jazz – a most enjoyable release

German releaseCover is in very good condition, no tears, no writing, very light edge wear due to handling but there is a couple of light creases which are highlighted by the large areas of brown coloured background.New inner plastic sleeveVinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light scratches or marks on each side. I then played both sides entirely and although the surface noise is a little higher than normal (after two vacuum cleans) overall I still would consider there are no significant issues with surface noise or clicks/pops,
