"Intro" is a pretty good opener although the smooth sax doesn't do much for me. Piano replaces the sax but then the sax is back before 2 minutes. The guitar leads at 2 1/2 minutes then more sax after 3 minutes to the end. "Kernein" opens with smooth sax and sparse piano. very mellow. Drums and bass before a minute then the electric piano replaces the sax but not for long as the sax is back at 2 minutes.

"Adios S.F." is my favourite. Picked guitar as an urgent rhythm section kicks in quickly. on it's guitar soloing over top. The sax takes over then a second sax. Guitar is back before 3 1/2 minutes and the guy can play. A SANTANA vibe here with all the percussion and congas after 4 minutes. "Vurz Im Morgongrauen" sounds like a continuation of the previous song a first. The sax blasts out of the gate after 1 1/2 minutes. Drums too but then it settles with organ and guitar. Sax is back then the tempo picks up before 5 1/2 minutes.

"Intro reprise" is less than a minute of just that. "Paulchen" is a very jazzy tune with that bass. Piano, drums then sax just before 1 1/2 minutes. "Pisa" is laid back with kano before smooth sax joins in. Piano only again but the sax returns as they trade off. Not into this one. "On My Way To Ubermorgen" opens with guitar and percussion. Blasting sax before a minute and I like that bass. guitar leads before 4 minutes and he's lighting it up late.

"Sieben Plus Bossa" is the closer and the longest song at over 8 minutes. Piano and guitar to start. Very chilled then it kicks in at a minute with sax but settles quickly. A calm 5 1/2 minutes in just like the intro actually then it kicks in again. So a pretty good Jazz/Rock album that is impressive but not totally my thing.
