Recordist's notes
Musicians with drums and trumpet make a spontaneous session during the "Geisterzug" (Ghosts parade). The performance ends abruptly when an armada of municipal garbage collection trucks arrives, cleaning the streets of glas bottles. "Geisterzug" is an alternative and political carnival parade in Cologne, taking place in the late evening of carnivals saturday. Everyone who wants can join the parade.
