The teachers of the University of Music Würzburg Prof. Bill Elgart, drums, and Prof. Hubert Winter, tenor & soprano saxes, have recorded a CD together with Robbi Nakayama, piano, and Henning Sieverts, acoustic bass. The album "Still Friday" is dedicated to the pianist Ben Heit, who died far too early on 7 June three years ago at the age of just 55. He was a student at the Würzburg jazz department in the late 1980s/early 1990s. All the compositions and arrangements on the album were written by him.
With the respectful musical interpretations of his pieces, the four musicians on this album - who had a close personal relationship with Ben Heit - want to preserve the memory of this charismatic person and great pianist and composer.
