About the album

Reinhardt Winkler: I’ve known most of the songs of my new album for a long time. As a child, I got my first jazz records and all the songs were on it. I fell in love with this music, the sound, the instruments, the vibe, I just liked everything. Over the years I’ve always stayed tuned to these particular songs and some of them have become my absolute favorites. So I decided to record these songs with musicians I appreciate so much.

Reinhardt Winkler: Die meisten Songs meines neuen Albums kenne ich schon sehr lange. Als Kind bekam ich meine ersten Jazz-Platten und alle Songs waren darauf. Ich habe mich in diese Musik verliebt, in den Sound, die Instrumente, den Vibe, ich mochte einfach alles. Über die Jahre bin ich immer bei diesen speziellen Songs geblieben und einige davon sind zu meinen absoluten Favoriten geworden. Also beschloss ich, diese Songs mit Musikern aufzunehmen, die ich so sehr schätze.

Winkler is not a drummer who presents his listeners with passionate unbridled solos. (...) That also makes this CD a pleasure for the non-drum fan. CDs like this Let's face the music are (almost) no longer made.

Overall, this is a pleasing set
Syncopated Times, 30-10-2021

On this album you can enjoy a superior group of musicians.
Rootstime, 30-9-2021

Winkler has opted for a modest mainstream approach, without exuberant bluff: less is more.
Jazzism, 23-9-2021

There is much to hear on this album that confirms the great potential of Reinhardt Winkler and the accompanying musicians. You can feel how the soloists follow the voice of the leader without giving up their own personality.
Jazzfun, 17-9-2021

An opus that can be listened to with pleasure, especially by fans of the mainstream.

Jazzhalo, 10-9-2021

... On it you can hear mainly pieces from the "Great American Songbook" (for example Benny Goodman's "Don't Be That Way" or the titular "Let's Face The Music And Dance"), which the five musicians and one singer bring in changing lineups with a fine swinging noblesse and aesthetically expressive nonchalance that it is a pleasure to listen. Chapeau!
