Folkwang Jazz ‘Bones is the jazz trombone ensemble of the Folkwang University of the Arts Essen (Germany) under the direction of Prof. Ansgar Striepens who there also leads the jazz trombone class since 2009. All musicians were at the time of the recording students of the Jazz Department of the Folkwang University of the Arts. [ Ссылка ]

This wonderful ballad was written by Quincy Jones and released in 1962 on an album with the same title. The equal beautiful arrangement is by German jazz trombonist Dietmar Kruse who studied with Jiggs Whigham in Cologne and became a great musician, writer and teacher himself. He wrote several outstanding arrangements for trombone ensemble. Dietmar died way too soon in 2015 when he was only 51 years old.
