The founder of „Sapporo Sound Motel“, German Jazz guitarist Christian Eckert is described as "one who prefers to acknowledge his romantic sensibility or reveal his melancholy moods rather than to get carried away with soulless fingerboard sprints...a reflective tone-picker...reminiscent of Jim Hall and Pat Metheny..". This is a reasonable description - there's no sprinting here, just thoughtful one-note plucking, backed up by "an immensely homogeneous ensemble" that has performed together for several years now.
Together with Ulli Jünemann (sax), Eva Mayerhofer (vocals) and Jens Loh (bass) four impressive musicians of the German Jazz scene have come together to travel through (Jazz) time and space.
