Musicians: Yitzhak Yedid p

Yitzhak Yedid always played with ensembles in his recordings of the past years. Now for the first time in more than 10 years, he has again ventured to make a solo recording. But he has carried on one topic of his music life here too: the attempt to transform and transcend visual experiences into musical ones. Marc Chagall inspired Yedid to compositions that do not want to reflect or reproduce the contents of paintings in any way. Rather they are an attempt to capture the spirit, which prevailed during Chagall's creative work, and to clothe them in sounds.

Musicians: Enrico Rava tp, flh, Ran Blake p

They only appeared on stage one time together for recording: Enrico Rava, the most well-known European trumpeter, and Ran Blake, the American pianist with an influence on numerous contemporary musicians that can hardly be overestimated. After the CD was no longer available from between the lines for many years, we are very pleased that we can now re-release it!

Musicians: Gerry Hemingway dr, sampler, voice, Lisa Sokolov voice, James Emery g, Kermit Driscoll b, John Butcher ts, Ellery Eskelin ta, Thomas Lehn synthesizer, Herb Robertson tp, Wolter Wierbos tb

Recorded in 2001 and released in 2002, the CD was sold out and no longer available after a short time. The master had also been missing for five years. It was now possible to use the original recordings to create a new master. Gerry Hemingway also contributed his hands and ears to make the sound even more transparent and powerful.

Musicians: Timucin Sahin double neck guitar, John O'Gallagher as, Tyshawn Sorey dr, Thomas Morgan b

Both his compositions and his playing on his double-neck guitar – his trademark – radiate an incomparable individualism. For example, his music sounds compassionate, melodic, almost melancholic at times, only to break out into wild, rock-influenced riffs in the next moment.
