Kathrine Windfeld returns with her fifth release as a leader - and the first with her dream team sextet! The acclaimed instrumentalist and composer leaves her celebrated big band setting and explores a smaller group that allows her to develop more fully as a pianist and improviser, using new song frameworks as a vehicle to showcase the creative voices that have become her primary focus.

Instead of limiting the writing to a specific theme, I just let my ideas flow and went to the piano to write whenever an idea arose.
