Ulrich Gumpert and Gunter "Baby" Sommer"s second duo-release on Intakt Records spans a wide arch of blues, boogie-woogie, hard bop, arrangements of German folk songs and free jazz. Sommer"s drum fills clearly show why he got his nickname from Louis Armstrong"s drummer Baby Dodds; while a piece like "Preubbische Elegie" demonstrates what a great composer Gumpert is. Oscar Peterson, Red Garland, Hampton Hawes and Roland Hanna are all on the recording.
