Dianne Reeves has deservedly been hoisted on high as one of the top five jazz voices in the decade of the 2000s. Her four Grammy Awards and her music from the movie soundtrack Good Night, and Good Luck solidified Reeves' upper-echelon placement. When You Know showcases material going off into the shallow end of the pool, away from legitimate jazz, and covering languid and lush pop songs.

The legendary Chill/Ambient sessions on Thursdays at XS are the main subject of this CD. Dr. Atmo once had the idea to have Live Sessions at this club. The best and most "alive" recordings are gathered together on this CD. Mario Hana are Ambient newcomers from Frankfurt whose performance was very impressive through their postive melodic oriented style and sound. The Chill-Out-Possee (feat. Mark N-R-G & Nino Tielman)have their roots in German industrial-electro. This avantgardistic performance was an outstanding event. Deep Space Network just before they did their "Big Rooms" with live percussion let the audience freak out completely with a bundle of Digeridoo and Percussion players…
