Special Thanks to Daisy Payero, Ulli Blobel, Ralph Gluch, Hans Oberlechner, Ray Anderson, Michael Moore, Michael Formanek, Maciej Karlowski, and all the great hosts for having us!

"Wide open musical vistas are summoned and on full display from the onset with Joe Hertenstein setting an exuberant and acrobatic pace on the opening track, The 7th Dinner, which also happens to be the title of this exuberantly infectious live album recorded during the quartets central European 2024 tour. Hertenstein, laying down rock solid foundational AND creative patterns throughout is flanked by some of the best players on planet earth for creative, swinging improvisational jazz. All the players are in mind meld form with striking interplay between them, turning on dimes and handing out nine cents change. Enough cannot be said for this energetically engaging record chock full of melodious experimentation. These guys know how to stretch your mind without a whiff of alienation. Especial kudos for the second track Alles Jutta (for Jutta Hipp), an all but forgotten female German born jazz pianist, originally influenced by Lennie Tristano, who suffered not only from the vagaries of Nazi censorship, but war displacement and her own battles with depression. This record is an A+ and one of my favorite jazz releases of the year." - John Hammel homegrownradionj.com
