This is complex, enchanting music, each tune unlike the rest in emotional color and intensity, yet unmistakably bound together by some magical, musical braiding. It is music that would challenge any musician yet remains readily accessible and supremely enjoyable for music fans of all stripes. Edith Lettner- alto & soprano saxophone, duduk Gerhard Franz Buchegger- piano Gerhard Graml- bass Stephan Brodsky- drums DELIGHT A change-up happens in the second set as jazz greats Warren Smith, Leopoldo F. Fleming and Donald Smith join with Edith and Gerhard Graml in the aptly named band Delight, something it is guaranteed to do. All are seasoned musicians who know how to make great music and make their music great. Whether performing a standard or a newly composed tune, they launch themselves into the groove, stay there and bring the audience all the way in with them. Donald Smith- piano, vocals Edith Lettner- alto & soprano saxophone Gerhard Graml- bass Leopoldo F.
