Friedhelm Schönfeld has been one of the most important protagonists of avant-garde jazz in the GDR since the 1960s. When he founded his Modern Creative Quartet in 2011, he did so in keeping with his station, so to speak: to the Peitzer Jazzwerkstatt. In that free-jazz mecca, he had played style-defining concerts with alto and tenor saxophone, flute and clarinet, especially in the trio with Klaus Koch and Baby Sommer for years.

He is assisted here by the saxophonist and big band leader Rolf von Nordenskjöld, who is not entirely unknown in Leipzig, the virtuoso Berlin bassist Gerhard 'Kubi' Kubach and the drummer Ernst Bier, who is appreciated for his sensitive playing with Joe Sachse, Uschi Brüning and Leuten Petrowsky, among others.
