“Initially, the name Timeless Allstars was meant literally – the music producedby this ensemble should be timeless – one should be able to listen to it againand again throughout the years, independently from the prevailing zeitgeist. Allthe artists who came together to form this artist name have proven – overdecades in different bands – that they were masters of the “mainstream”-sound ofjazz: the saxophonist Harold Land, the trombonist Curtis Fuller, and BobbyHutcherson on the vibraphone; they were accompanied by a rhythm section whichwas always more than just that – with Cedar Walton at the piano, the bassistBuster Williams, and Billy Higgins, one of the most outstanding drummers ofjazz. The title is absolutely right: they were “All Stars” – true masters intheir respective fields.” – Michael Laages
