Trombone player Christof Thewes is one of the secret stars of the live playing scene and always taking time before handing over a new production, but nevertheless absolutely convincing. After his first CD with Rudi Mahall ('Quartetto Pazzo', JHM 122) he now presents a very special project: 'Greyhound'. Beyond any other jazz&poetry performance Thewes' collaboration with author Alfred Gulden really is an extraordinary 'American trip in word and music'.
