In the summer of 1997, Joe Kucera, a Czech sax player who had escaped from his homeland to Berlin twenty years earlier, triumphantly returned to perform with David and Roselyn (Leonard and Lionhart) and their Swiss bassist, Hans Hartmann at the Mississippi Mud Blues Festival at Club Zelena in Praha (Prague).

Roselyn good humoredly tries out her nonexistent Czech to the delight of the international audience and the four talented performers tear the stuffiness out of traditional blues, original folk and jazz standards....

David Leonard early forties King trumpet + Lee Oscar harmonicas + vocals, Roselyn Lionhart guitar + mandolin + electrified African finger piano, Hans Hartmann double bass + Chapman Stick, Joe Kucera tenor sax + alto sax + flute.
