Darius Heid – Victor Fox – Phil Donkin | Donau Solo

Before departing Copenhagen in July 2022, I did 11 recording sessions and worked on them during the past months. Now I am more than happy to share with you a careful mix of 9 tracks featuring solo recordings and different constellations with my dears Sebastians Macats, Asger Thomsen, Sture Ericson, Marcus Wärnheim, Michaela Turcerová and Jēkabs Rēders.
