"These four played for the first time together on that wintry evening in Cologne, incidentally the birthday of Simon Nabatov. But the musical interconnections inside of this ensemble are manifold: Frank Gratkowski and Dieter Manderscheid's collaboration in Frank's quartet, Gratkowski's fabulous participation in Nabatov's quartet and octet, Herb Robertson's unique contribution in Frank's double quartet and Simon's quintet. With all this in place, they celebrate their first meeting in four musical discourses, often subtle, at times fiery, and always fascinating to follow."-Leo
