"Garage jazz", that`s how Benjamin Schaefer and his band "Expressway Sketches" characterize their music. The unusual band`s line-up is as well fascinating as its musical concept: to finish a composition the composer only had ten minutes of time. This led to an extremely straight dealing with the first creative idea - and music, that is either fabulously beautiful or even demonically pulsating, being incredibly exciting at all times.
