Umberto Arlati, – “the tiler from Olten, the Miles Davis of Europe” (as Joachim Ernst Berendt once wrote) – was a gifted trumpet player and teacher of Peter Schärli at the Swiss Jazz School in Bern. There aren't many recordings of "Umbi" out there, so these ones become an important part of his legacy. Peter Schmidlin – one of the great drummers – not only played in these two bands, but also in various Peter Schärli projects.

We, the survivors, would like to honor these two great musicians with a series of concerts.

“Lars Lindval and Peter Schärli, two wonderful trumpet players supported by a rhythm section that provides everything the soloist needs to take off on the ramp. Strong music from strong musicians, and a great pleasure to listen to!
