Lutz Koppetsch and Markus Bellheim impressively prove that jazz instruments also possess chamber music qualities with music by German composers in the style of the "golden" 1920s. They play original works and arrangements full of atmosphere and colour. This is what "Made in Germany" sounds like! A co-production with BR KLASSIK
