You'd be so nice to come home to – a one-minute glimpse into this great Cole Porter composition as played last Friday by the Thomas Siffling Quintet with their 'Remembering Chet' program. What a great evening with a sold-out Jazz-Schmiede and so many classic tunes!
We often play Chet Baker's legendary Riverside recording, 'Chet,' after our concerts, so it was a joy to listen to this interpretation. Musicians are Thomas Siffling (flügelhorn), Olaf Schönborn (As), Martin Sasse (p), Nico Brandenburg (b) and Patrick Manzecchi (dr).

Bilk sings!
How great was that? The Schmiede was full of people and everyone wanted to sing together. Thank you for being there, we'll continue in autumn. Feel free to write in the comments which song should not be missing then!
