I read the article promoting Schloss Elmau by Harriet Green in the Observer on Sunday 17th March 2019. A raft of musicians were mentioned and regrettably jazz was sidelined by the fact that the author admitted to having a “deaf ear to jazz” – what ever that means – and the jazz musicians calling themselves 4 Wheel Drive gave an unforgettable interpretation of songs by Paul McCartney, Billy Joel and Sting. The music was so unforgettable that the author could not remember their names. For the record “4 Wheel Drive” are; Nils Landgren (trombone & vocals),Michael Wollny (piano),Lars Danielsson (bass & cello) and Wolfgang Haffner (drums).
