The music of this concert is adventurous, taking the liberty of breaking all the rules of style through playing without getting totally out of hand", writes Christian Rentsch in the liner notes. In short: This CD is a stroke of luck.
Es war eine der legendären Begegnungen am Jazzfestival Willisau 1980. John Tchicai, Don Cherry, Irène Schweizer, Léon Francioli und Pierre Favre trafen sich für ein Festivalkonzert unter dem Bandnamen "Musical Monsters". Ein paar wenige Themenmelodien, mehrheitlich von John Tchicai geschrieben, dienten als Scharniere zwischen den Soli und den Improvisationen.
