It's not without pride that Stunt releases this, its greatest venture so far. In 1996 Alex Riel
and Stunt won a Danish Grammy for the cd "The Riel Deal", and for a couple of weeks "Unriel" from 1997 was in the Ame- rican jazz charts, which is highly unusual for European jazz recordings.
More than 10,000 copies of the cd were sold, which makes it one of the best-selling Danish jazz cd's ever. For Alex Riel it was
natural to continue his collaboration with the musicians from the previous projects. The result is probably the most perfect of all Alex Riel's recordings, characterized by musical playfulness
and respect for the tradition in an astonishing interaction among some of the world's greatest musicians.
