The original "Night Flight" is one of Alex Barck's (Jazzanova / A&R @ Derwin Rec.) latest discoveries. Alex found this little masterpiece by Quintus Project in a second hand shop and we simply had to re-release this beautiful shimmering piece of balearic soft-tune. The original „Night Flight" was released in 1987 on the Quintus Project album "Moments" (limited to 300 album copies!). Mastermind of the project
was the German musician, composer, producer, arranger, engineer Walter Quintus, a musical multi-talent. Born in 1949, he collaborated until now with a diverse assortment of great musicans from around the world like Richie Beirach, John Bergamo, Phil Brown, Eric Clapton, Michel Godard, Gary Moore, trumpet player Markus Stockhausen (son of Karlheinz Stockhausen) and many others....

First heard this a few months ago on Alex and Christian's pulse podcast mix. I couldn't work out if it was new 'retro style' release or if it was an old 80's track, what with that Bruce Hornsby/Double style piano - now I have my answer! Incredible track. If someone had discovered it back in '87 and put it in a film or something then I think it could quite easily have become one of the defining tunes of the era. Great find Alex!
