1. Concertos, Part X - guitar (solo Roupe)
2. Concertos, Part 5 - tenor sax (solo Rockwell)
3. Concertos, Part 7 - drums (solo Mason)

According to the (omitted) radio announcers, this was the most "controversial act" at this years JazzFest Berlin 2007: Hardly any space for improvisation (except maybe for the drummer solo part at the end) and a very odd line-up, in which each of the seven soloists enter the stage just to do their part and then make place for the other soloist.
At the time of the final part by Nick mason (yes, the one who used to play in Pink Floyd: Some of his part has some touches to the famous tune "Money"), half of the audience of about 1000 people had left the auditorium.
