My absolute favorite song. If any song says "hope", it's this one

I really do enjoy his writing
And his playing, of course along with the amazing WDR BB

I heard this song for the first time on my public radio station 2 years ago. I think I was the first youtube viewer. I'm so happy coming back and seeing that others have found this song. I listen to it every month

[@MasterPianistCommunity]

This song is amazing.

I'm only just now getting into the rest of this album but I already love it so much

Um dos solos mais lindos que eu já ouvi ser tocado por um trombonista.
