Their quintet includes Italian pianist Amedeo Tommasi, French bassist Benoît Quersin and Swiss drummer Daniel Humair, incidentally the same line-up that joined Chet Baker on the recording of Chet Is Back!, an album on which Tommasi contributed an original composition, “Ballata in forma di blues.” 

The group tackles this track here, along with two pieces that demonstrate their reverence for Sonny Rollins: “Oleo,” one of his most-interpreted compositions, and “I Remember Sonny,” a track written by Thomas for his former collaborator.
