HeimatInch = Inchhome / homeland / native landInch Maik Weichert (guitar) comments Inch'Heimat' is not meant as the narrow-minded end point in the sense it has been used by agitators and populists, but the starting point for observations and perspectives. The album is about a much wider sense of the term 'Heimat' the homelands for many different people and also about the spiritual home, something that shapes and determines our thoughts and actions.

Hush! Is the fifth album by American pianist and arranger extraordinaire Duke Pearson. Recorded in 1962 and released on the short-lived Jazz-line tag that same year, this album stands out boasting it's unique quintet lineup, including the two trumpeters, Donald Byrd and Johnny Coles. For fans of the beautiful, lyrical, small group jazz of the 1960s this album is a must-listen and includes the tracks 'Hush!', 'Angel Eyes' and 'Out of This World'.
