Album Description * Part of the prestigious German series Jazzthing Next Generation (a cooperation between Double Moon and Jazzthing, Germany's biggest jazz magazine). * Tim Rodig studied in New York and Hilversum. His composing and playing are very much influenced by hard bop, but are fl avored with Latin rhythms and melodies reminiscent of soul music. * His sidemen are internationally experienced, having played with Bobby Byrd, Pee Wee Ellis, and more. Here, Rodig's impressive and technically brilliant tenor sax can be heard to its full advantage.
