Not Far From Here;

Award-winning German pianist Julia Hlsmann expands her long-time working trio (together now for 17 years) to a quartet with the addition of Berlin-based saxophonist Uli Kempendorff bringing a fresh energy to the group concept. Each member of the quartet brings in original compositions, with Julia herself contributing five pieces for the album. Repertoire is augmented by the 1980s hit "This Is Not America", co-composed by David Bowie, Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays.
