Off Course Street of Secrets
The music of Off Course is very sensitive, strongly influenced by European jazz. Though their aim was not to create popular music, the outcome is nevertheless meant for a wider public. The group was formed ten years ago and shows surpassing maturity; what we hear is music played chamber-music style.
