Die Profimusiker um Bernd Kiltz (Gitarre), Daniel Prandl (Piano), Christian Kussmann (Bass) und Florian Alexandru-Zorn (Drums) gewähren einen tiefen Einblick in die Interpretations- und Begleittechniken für Filmmusik und lassen teilhaben an ihren Erfahrungen, Tipps und Tricks. Für Pianisten und Keyboarder sind Play-alongs eine geradezu unverzichtbare Grundlage für die tägliche Übepraxis. Die vorliegenden Bearbeitungen von Klassikern der Filmmusik bieten in diesem Zusammenhang ein ideales Spielfeld: Denn hier wird der Pianist nicht nur auf EINE Rolle als Solist einerseits oder als 'bloßer' Begleiter andererseits reduziert, sondern kann beide Funktionen mit aller stilistischen Freiheit übernehmen. Ihm wird Raum für solistische Improvisation UND Band dienliches Comping gegeben.
