Denne kvartet består af gamle og nye venner, der alle har indgået i samspil med hinanden i en lang række forskellige konstellationer. Det musikalske fokus er her kompositionerne af tenorsaxofonisten og legenden Bent Jædig, som denne kvartets medlemmer alle har haft en stærkt forhold til.

Bent Jædig var en fremtrædende repræsentant for bebop-jazzen og har været en enorm inspirationskilde på den danske og internationale jazzscene. Denne aften hyldes han af fire tætte kollegaer. Den fremragende Gilbert Holmström er født samme år som Jædig, og de lærte at spille saxofon ud fra det samme Charlie Parker-album. Pianisten Ben Besiakov, der er en af de mest kreative musikere på den danske jazzscene, var Jædigs foretrukne akkompagnatør fra 90’erne og frem.
