Paul Desmond, the sound aesthete of cool jazz, was the greatest stylist of his instrument alongside Charlie Parker and composer of the legendary "Take Five", the first world hit in jazz. One of his heirs is the German saxophonist Ilona Haberkamp, whose soaring lines lend the pieces a special sound magic with her gentle swing.
The Ilona Haberkamp Quartet has set itself the task of taking up Desmond's compositions and other jazz standards of the time and presenting them in a new light. For example, Desmond's song 'Audrey' tells the story of an unrequited love for Audrey Hepburn, who listened to the piece before going to bed after Desmond's death until the end of her life.
Let yourself be enchanted by the floating sounds of cool jazz - an experience for all the senses, a must for every jazz connoisseur, an evening for the soul!
