The concert series The Impro Train is a challenge for improvisational groups: three different sets with one arc of tension, resulting in a live album.

Singer Mola Sylla grew up the tradition of griots, the West African storytellers. His vocals, which he accompanies with traditional instruments, differ from the recognized western patterns and provide surprising twists. Drummer Frank Rosaly responds to that from his background in experimental rock and jazz. Oscar Jan Hoogland, key player in the Amsterdam improv scene and student of Misha Mengelberg, plays his self-made clavichord here, joining 17th century principles with 220 volts of electricity.
