Stories like ´Bank Account Blues´, ´No Sweat´, From the Cold into the Dark´, ´Storm at Sea´ and ´Crocodile Tears´. Inspired by i.e. Abdullah Ibrahim, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn.With a touch of Chicago. And a pinch of New Orleans. And not forgetting: the Dutch polder.
