Newcomer Monika Roscher demonstrates her abilities with a fresh approach to big band work – and convinces with coherent syntheses of contemporary electro-pop, triphop and ambient with spheric horn arrangements and swinging grooves.

Eleven years after his first Überjam-extravaganza, John Scofield is back with a second issue. The line-up is nearly identical and the groove is just as sweeping as always. On top of that the style has been reconditioned and Sco surprises with fresh, sharp attacks and hints of funk and dub.
