During their previous "undercover mission" the musicians of STING OPERATION worked with songs written by Gordon Matthew Sumner (Sting). He is undoubtedly one of the greatest composers in pop music. In 2018 the band released the album "Every Smile You Fake".

There are countless pieces of music that practically everyone recognises – often without knowing where from. The jazz project STING OPERATION has been poaching in this realm for some years, using musical common property as a starting point for unconventional interpretations.
For their latest CD, the band have addressed the legendary 1969 music festival Woodstock. This event, surrounded by many myths, initially also influenced jazz musicians (such as Miles Davis). In addition, an astonishing number of jazz, blues and gospel classics were performed at Woodstock.
The operating team: Devi Reith (vocals), Felix Straumann (sax, composition), Matthias Siegrist (guitar), Peter Leuzinger (bass) and Peter Preibisch (drums).
