Standard Questions

Questions open up a space that can be interpreted, is how German saxophonist Johannes Enders describes the starting point of 'Standard Questions', "something that has probably fascinated me subconsciously for a long time." So he searched the American Songbook for pieces whose titles formulate questions, selected seven of them, and added two of his own compositions in a fitting manner. He then recorded the collection with his equally new and magnificent acoustic quartet: the Austrian pianist Oliver Kent, the Berlin-based American bassist Josh Ginsburg, and the American Gene Calderazzo on drums, who moved to England in the mid-1990s.
