Pure magic in the recording of a memorable concert from 2004 - Update: PdSK Nomination!
Joe Lovano says about these recordings: "A heartfelt message in reference to the magnificent" George Mraz … magical and full of beauty … historic trio recording.“ Beside Cover Versionen of Thelonius Monk and Hoagy Carmichael songs, the recordings also contain two rarely played Original compositions by Tony Lakatos.
Update:
this wonderful production is included on the long list and that have therefore been nominated for the fourth Quarterly Critic’s Choice 2026!
For the “Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik” (German Record Critics’ Award; abbreviated: PdSK), music critics and journalists from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland come together regularly in order to honour outstanding music and spoken word recordings. Comprising of a maximum of 160 members, the PdSK jury places great importance on reaching independent judgments, unaffected by the interests of the recording or audiobook industry.
