"Little Flower" was created during the Berlin drummer's three-year stay in New York. Thematically, it deals with the idea of a small flower as a symbol of the fragile, the unprotected and the genuine in us. Melancholy, hope and forgiveness hover over it all. Subtly connected sounds are closely related to the lyrically melodically presented content. His quartet with Can Olgun on piano, Keisuke Matsuno on guitar and Thomas Morgan on bass succeeds on the debut album a music full of depth, which radiates a powerful warmth with patient calm.
