Bebop, Modern, Cool, Mainstream, Swing, Call it what you want, these 4 musicians got it to the infinite power. They create the hottest moments sure to keep you cool.

Considering all the worries of the world, it's no wonder that music is often the remedy for coping with today's struggles. ... But watch out.... This jazz is known to cause shortness of breath in surrounding audiences, and will cause dizziness to listeners if administered in large doses.

Luluk has cranked out a new Stage Bus Special vehicle. (Length: 12 meter) The side of the bus can be lowered to form a stage, covered by a canvas supported by a system of cables. Fully equipped (sound system, grand piano, lighting etc.) Designed and build by visual artist: Aart Marcus. 6 weeks of building recorded as stop-motions for film-Track 2: Lir-Ilir. Replay in 4 minutes.

And a new CD-Rom: Film2000/ Lir-Ilir. (Munich records BMWCD296) including a 'live' performance on the Stage Bus in front of the Eiffel-tower, Paris. This CD-ROM is an addition to the previous release: Born Free (Munich records BMMCD296)
