Musicians
Jermaine Landsberger (Hammond B3)
Jermaine Landsberger comes from a Sinti family and has made many albums as a jazz pianist under his own name. Originally inspired by the sound of Django Reinhardt, he has played with Bireli Lagrene, Martin Taylor and Tony Lakatos. Later he focused on modern jazz and developed his own B3 tone in a completely innovative way. He combined his virtuoso piano style with the earthy and bluesy organ sound to create a highly explosive blend.
Paulo Morello (Guitar)
A long-time member of the In + Out family is Paulo Morello. The guitar player has brought Brazilian stars to Europe with his “Bossa Legends” project. Paul Kuhn was highly imPressd by his inventive flair as an arranger and his improvisational fluency, and hired him for the album, “My Shining Hour”, which he recorded with his long-time stage companion, Greetje Kauffeld. Paulo got his B3 baptism of fire when he accompanied the legendary Jimmy Smith on his last European tour in 2004.
Dejan Terzic (Drums)
Dejan Terzic ranks among the elite of European jazz drummers – he is skilled in the context of big bands, funk and modern jazz. He has played and recorded with Roy Hargrove, Antonio Farao, Enrico Rava and Jerry Bergonzi. He has worked with Landsberger and Morello for the past three years.
Peter Weniger (Saxophone)
Last but not least, the new arrival, turning the grooving trio into a quartet: tenor saxophonist Peter Weniger from Hamburg, who needs no introduction to jazz fans. He has been collecting awards since the late 1980s, among them the SWR jazz prize. Among his cohorts on the nine albums he has made to date have been Hubert Nuss, John Abercrombie, Rufus Reid, Adam Nussbaum and David Liebman. Weniger was, and is, a highly esteemed session man, having guested with Jasper van’t Hof, Billy Cobham, Eddie Palmieri and Django Bates, as well as all the big bands of the ARD. As a professor of jazz saxophone, he has taught at the Berliner Kunsthochschule for the past seven years.

From the Linernotes:
„Apart from being an excruciating pun, the title of this album is quite appropriate, because ham and eggs go extremely well together. And so do Paulo Morello and Jermaine Landsberger.”
– Mike Hennessey
