Simon Oslender / Steve Gadd / Will Lee - All That Matters

All That Matters' offers everything that is musically important to German pianist Simon Oslender - and picks up on what his roots are: R&B, blues, soul, gospel and funk. And the instrument he began learning at the age of five also finds its rightful place here - the good old Hammond B3. And thus, a very personal album - and with the presence of legendary drummer Steve Gadd and another legend, bassist Will Will Lee, the fulfilment of one of his biggest personal dreams.

This illustrious line-up is completed by Germany's leading groove specialist among guitarists, Bruno Muller, and the excellent alto saxophonist Jakob Manz, who - despite his young age - has a deep connection with groove jazz. Featured as a special guest is Swedish trombonist extraordinaire Nils Landgren, one of the strongest and most recognizable voices in the jazz world today.
