A short teaser about the recording (more to come soon)

This video clip of short samples from the sessions will give you a taste of what’s to come. It would not have been possible to realize this recording without YOUR support and such an amazing ensemble of high class musicians!

We would like to share the excitement and genuine joy experienced during these sessions, when we recorded 13 songs in two days, with an eclectic selection (yes, that is the Buckyball style : ) of tunes from classics such as Stella by Starlight and How High the Moon, three songs by one of Amercia’s greatest composers, Charles Mingus, and some more contemporary tunes such as The First Circle by Pat Metheney, Café by Egberto Gismonti and 500 Miles High by Chick Corea.
