& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;A Spiritual Jazz Journey On Double LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Cosmic Forest takes us on a spiritual journey through the musical universe of Musik Produktion Schwarzwald (Black Forest Music Production), the most important German jazz label of the 1960's and '70s. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; There are still little-known gems to discover within the MPS catalogue. For instance, Cosmic Forest curated by Nicola Conte. Cosmic Forest is a compilation that highlights some of the most compelling & quot;spiritual jazz & quot; recordings from 1965 to 1975. Conte, a world-renowned Italian musician and producer, as well as a passionate DJ and record collector, is a connoisseur of European jazz with an astounding ability to dig a little deeper when it comes to arranging such a compilation. In this case, he concentrated on the spiritual highpoints of the MPS catalogue, highlighting both well-known and obscure musical treasures, while connecting disparate pieces through a personal common thread. The choice of individual titles and the flowing character of their arrangement lend the album a quality of timelessness, while showcasing the breadth of the entire & quot;cosmic jazz collection & quot; within the MPS archives. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Nicola Conte is an indefatigable crate digger and his finds are usually worth checking out. His series of Viagem compilations for London's Far Out label, collecting bizarrely wonderful bossa-nova singles made in Brazil in the 1960s, is a particular delight. And so is this trawl through the lesser-known backwaters of the MPS and SABA catalogues. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - All About Jazz & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Double LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Compiled by Nicola Conte & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Liner notes by Ekkehart Fleischhammer & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Made in Germany & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g 7LP Box Set! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;A curious happenstance in 1966 triggered the partnership between MPS head Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer and George Duke. Brunner-Schwer was in San Francisco to record the Art van Damme Quintet. After finishing the recording session one evening, he and his team strolled over to a club called the Jazz Workshop. Les McCann was supposed to be playing, but this particular day was his day off. Instead, a 20 year old pianist, still involved in his studies, was performing with his quartet. The music's freshness so enthralled the German that he set up a recording session on the spot. This encounter between George Duke and Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer in sunny California was both accidental and noteworthy. It turned out to be the jazzy prologue to future events: five years later the American began his fusion-infused sessions for the man from Germany's Black Forest. These sessions are the theme of this box set with its seven LPs. Some 40 through 45 years after their initial releases, these albums still count as a fascinating and essential part of George Duke's life's-work and canon of the genre. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;This impeccable seven LP box of George Duke's greatest works is a fantastic addition to any jazz lover's library. Included in this box are albums The Inner Source, Faces in Reflection, Feel, I Love The Blues, She Heard My Cry, The Aura Will Prevail, and Liberated Fantasies. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Specially by MPS Jazz, there has been a removal of all traces of aging from the original MPS tapes, meticulous analog optimizing, strict adherence to the sound aesthetics of the era, and pure analogue transfer to the lacquer master. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot; & quot; & gt; Musically the high point of the ten-year collaboration with Brunner-Schwer occurred during the MPS years, which saw six full-length releases...the albums from that period comprise The Era Will Prevail...Cut from original mastertapes, this stylish-looking set boasts polished sound that skillfully blends Duke's richly-layered keyboards with the intricacies of first-rate rhythm sections...Duke created music that was heady yet soulful and sophisticated yet accessible. Unlike some 1970s musicians surrounded by racks of keyboards, Duke focused less on flash, pyrotechnics, and displays or virtuousity than colorful soundscapes that could mezmerize the listener... & lt;footer & gt; -Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;7LP Box Set (6 Albums) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g audiophile pressing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pure analogue transfer to the lacquer master & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Removal of all traces of aging from original MPS tapes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Meticulous analog optimizing of the tapes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Strict adherence to the sound aethetics of the era & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Original Artworks & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Records in the First Edition Style of MPS & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl Labels Modeled from the Originals & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold Jackets & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Covers with Glossy Varnish Finish & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by optimal media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;The Inner Source (1973) (2LP) & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Au-Right & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Love Reborn & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Peace & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;My Soul & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Feels So Good & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Manya & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sweet Bite & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Followers & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Inner Source & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Life & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Some Time Ago & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;So There You Go & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Solus & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Nigerian Numberuma & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Twenty-Five & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Always Constant & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Feel (1974) & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Funny Funk & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Once Over & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Feel & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Cora Joberge & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Old Slipper & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tzina (Theme from The Oper & quot;Tzina & quot;) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Yana Aminah & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rashid & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Statement & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Faces In Reflection (1974) & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Opening & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Capricorn & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Piano Solo No. 1 + 2 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Psychocomatic Dung & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Faces In Reflection No. 1 (instrumental) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Maria Tres Filhos & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;North Beach & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Da Somba & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Faces In Reflection No. 2 (vocal) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;The Aura Will Prevail (1975) & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Dawn & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;For Love (I Come Your Friend) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Foosh & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Floop De Loop & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Malibu & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Fools & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Echidna's Arf & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Uncle Remus & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Aura & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;I Love the Blues, She Heard Me Cry (1975) & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Chariot & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Look Into Her Eyes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sister Serene & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;That's What She Said & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mashavu & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rokkinrowl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Prepare Yourself & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Giant Child Within Us - Ego & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Someday & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Love the Blues, She Heard Me Cry & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Liberated Fantasies (1976) & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Don't Be Shy & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Seeing You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Back To Where We Never Left & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;What The... & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tryin' & amp; Cryin' & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I C'n Hear That & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;After The Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tzina (Excerpts from Act II Scene II) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liberated Fantasies & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g Audiophile Pressing! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;The partnership between Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer and Oscar Peterson grew after the legendary Exclusively For My Friends recordings. Nine albums followed that remarkable recording. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Walking The Line came about during the middle of this period of their work. An added bonus to this vinyl release is Hubertus Mall's fantastic drawing of Peterson on the cover. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Peterson is joined by bassist Georg Mraz and drummer Ray Price for this release which is bookended by two Cole Porter classics & quot;I Love You & quot; and & quot;All Of You. & quot; Each of the tracks in between is a masterpiece in its own right, especially the irresistible version of & quot;Rock Of Ages. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; Oscar Peterson's series of recordings for Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer during the 1960s and early '70s are one of many high points in his long career. With George 'Jiri' Mraz on bass and Ray Price on drums, Peterson's flashy romp through 'I Love You' (complete with a humorous detour into the opera 'Pagliacci') and mid-tempo walk through & quot;'All of You' salute Cole Porter in style on Walking the Line. 'Rock of Ages' isn't the old hymn but a lively, gospel-inflected Peterson original that will easily get any congregation swinging and swaying to the music. His mastery of the ballad form is heard in his sensitive interpretation of 'Once Upon a Summertime,' which showcases Mraz's gorgeous tone, as Price sits out this one. & lt;footer & gt; -Ken Dryden, AllMusic.com & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Audiophile analog remastering & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes, remastering information & amp; a picture of the original master tape box inside & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by Optimal Media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Oscar Peterson & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;George Mraz & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ray Price & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 1: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Love You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rock Of Ages & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Once Upon A Summertime & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Just Friends & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 2: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Teach Me Tonight & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Windmills Of Your Mind & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Didn't Know What Time It Was & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;All Of You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;When he died at the age of 83 in October 2015, the local papers were restrained in their obituaries. For many jazz fans and cognoscenti, singer Mark Murphy was vastly underrated; they are right, as his prolific six-decade-long artistic career attests: during that career Murphy exhibited an inventive stylistic range that covered blues to bebop on through to modern jazz. His 1967 MPS recording lands in the middle of his & quot;European decade & quot;, and it is one of the most beautiful, striking documents of his skills. & quot;Midnight Mood & quot; is characterized by the sophisticated dialogue between voice and eight musicians from the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland-Big band, but it begins a cappella: Murphy welcomes us with Duke Ellington's & quot;Jump For Joy & quot; as he walks the vocal tightrope without a net, at the sametime offering us a taste of his unorthodox scat singing. With & quot;I Don't Want Nothin' & quot; the ensemble offers us a swinging, bluesy, mischievous miniature, while Murphy's voice on & quot;Why And How & quot; shifts towards a noticeably darker tinge, surrounded by short penetrating solo interludes from the band. & quot;Alone Together & quot; reveals a masterpiece of phrasing over syncopated piano play; & quot;You Fascinate Me So & quot; emphasizes Murphy's romantic ardor. & quot;Hopeless & quot; unfolds with overwhelming intensity & amp;#224; la Sinatra, and & quot;Sconsolato & quot; is served with a casual Hispanic flair. With subtly nuanced tenderness on & quot;My Ship & quot; and & quot;I Get Along ... & quot;, Murphy evokes a depths-of-night ambience in dialogue with the keys, while & quot;Just Give Me Time & quot; reflects a dark sensuality that swaggers between Swing and Bossa. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g audiophile pressing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes include remastering info & amp; a picture of the original master tape box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Mark Murphy & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Jimmy Deuchar & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;trumpet & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ake Persson & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;trombone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Derek Humble & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;alto saxophone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ronnie Scott & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;tenor saxophone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Sahib Shihab & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;baritone saxophone, flute & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Francy Boland & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Jimmy Woode & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Kenny Clarke & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side One: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Jump For Joy & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Don't Want Nothin' & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Why And How & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Alone Together & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;You Fascinate Me So & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Two: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Hopeless & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sconsolato & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;My Ship & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Just Give Me Time & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Get Along Without You Very Well & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Situated in Villingen, in Germany's Black Forest region, for some two decades MPS Records and studios wrote pioneering jazz history through its high-level recording technique and unmistakable aesthetic. Today the & quot;most perfect sound made in the Black Forest & quot; continues to light up the ears of analogue fans worldwide. A historical sketch. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The label's actual birth was in 1968, but it had a colorful prelude that entails the famous initials HGBS. As co-owner of the electronics manufacturer SABA, Industrialist Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer (HGBS) was not only an ardent audio engineer; he was also an amateur pianist who was crazy about music. In 1958 he built a recording studio above the living room in his villa. It contained the most sophisticated audio equipment available at that time. When Oscar Peterson came to Zurich to perform a concert in 1961, Brunner-Schwer lured Peterson to his villa, and the first house concert in the Black Forest. The Canadian was so impressed by HGBS's recording of the concert ( & quot;I never heard myself like this before... & quot;), that he decided to come back every year for a another living room session. Meanwhile, starting in 1963 HGBS began to produce records under the label name SABA. The recordings included pianists Wolfgang Dauner and Horst Jankowski. George Duke also appeared as guest for the first time in 1966. When Brunner-Schwer left SABA in 1968, he founded MPS (Musik Produktion Schwarzwald (Black Forest)) Records. The Peterson recordings were the first release under the new name - this became possible since Peterson had finished his contract with Verve. It was the beginning of an illustrious catalog which contained over 500 releases by 1982. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;MPS evolved a vault of recordings filled with treasures from virtually every musical direction. The recording no longer took place solely in Villingen; there were now New York studio sessions and live recordings at the Berlin Jazz Festival. Close teamwork with such masterful sound engineers as Willi Fruth and Rolph Donner guaranteed that the demand for a high-quality sound-aesthetic would be met, and many new talents were brought into the MPS fold through the mediations of the reigning high priest of jazz, Joachim-Ernst Berendt, who was working at the nearby S & amp;#252;dwestfunk (Southwest Broadcasting) station. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Exclusively For My Friends is generally regarded as the heart of every Oscar Peterson collection. Peterson even raved that the MPS recordings, mainly due to the intimate atmosphere of inclusion in Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer's living room and its perfection and sensitivity as a sound engineer and producer, brought out Peterson's best. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The resulting 1963-1968 private concert recordings are the impressive result of the long friendship between the exceptional Canadian pianist and the Black Forest label owners. The recordings serve to document Peterson's exquisite playing style in high profile trios as well as Brunner-Schwer's keenness to create best possible sound characteristics. The AAA pressing of the complete audiophile edition is carried out on 180-gram virgin-vinyl. The sound of the original master-tapes was carefully optimized in a pure analogue mastering process to free them from their traces of aging. As a result MPS succeeds in meeting the highest audiophile standard found today. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;180-gram individual pressings include Action, Girl Talk, The Way I Really Play, My Favorite Instrument, Mellow Mood and Travelin' On. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; What's most appealing here is that you get the spontaneity and excitement of a 'live' performance minus the nightclub chatter.

On the album, he traces the paths of the great masters, Bach, Mozart and Debussy, whose works he plays works which then provide him with the most diverse of inspirations for his own compositions long before classical music opened up to other influences. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;My aim in remastering Message from G was not to change anything in the recordings of the three concerts of 1978; not to adapt them to todays listening habits or to modify them; on the contrary, the aim was to capture that special beauty of musicality and tone and to achieve a sound as close to the original recordings as possible. To that end, the master tape was comprehensively reworked: on the one hand by careful selection and the finest calibration of the tape equipment and the subsequent signal chain, and on the other hand by making very sensitive adjustments to the frequency range and the amplitude level. The theoretical basis for this was, among other things, an original vinyl disc that I used frequently for comparison purposes. We worked exclusively with analogue technology to produce the re-release. Despite an intensive search, the original master tapes of LP 1, B-side For Rico, Italian Concerto, Aria (Version 1) and LP 3, B-side Sonata in B flat major, Aria (Version 2) were not to be found either in the MPS Archives in Villingen as backup copies or in the original tape archives and must therefore be considered as lost. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Producer's Comment: Christoph Stickel & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; 6LP Box Set & lt;br & gt; 180g Virgin Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Optimal Media GmbH in Germany & lt;br & gt; True to the Original configuration: Records in original edition style of MPS adaptation of the original LP, vinyl labels modeled from the originals & lt;br & gt; Removal of all traces of aging from the original MPS tapes, meticulous analog optimizing of the tapes.

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Highlights radiate through the history of the Berlin Jazz Days, and November 7, 1968 was a particularly memorable one. On that evening Dizzy Gillespie visited the city on the Spree river; that alone would be enough for every jazz fan to jump for joy, since by that time the incomparable trumpeter was one of the few remaining constants in modern jazz. And he hadnt brought just any orchestra with him Dizzies combo included outstanding soloists from every phase of his career: saxophonist Cecil Payne and trombonist Ted Kelly from the '40s colleague Curtis Fuller out of Dizzies '50s groups, and from the younger generation representing the '60s Gillespie protégé trumpeter Jimmy Owens. These are only a few of the creative heads in Dizzies star-studded Reunion Big Band. Put together by Gillespies long-time musical companion Gil Fuller, the band only needed a few days rehearsals before they were breathing as one and ready to conduct their triumphant European tour. They strut their stuff in six pieces, from the exuberant, animalistic energy of Things To Come through Paul Wests swinging bass work on One Bass Hit on to Frisco, pianist Mike Longos composition with its chromatic ostinato resounding like a gangster movie soundtrack. From the Latin-saturated Con Alma with Dizzy dancing through the piece, through to the precisely arranged Things Are There, a wild chase that, after a series of excellent solos, ends in Candy Finchs drumming fireworks. Dizzy Gillespie commented back then that it was his best big band of the last 20 years. After listening to the music youll have to agree. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Liner notes include remastering info & amp; a picture of the original master tape box & lt;br & gt; Adapted original cover artwork & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Trumpeter Clark Terry legitimized the flugelhorn as a front-line instrument in jazz. Possessing a golden-warm, crystal-pure sound and prodigious technique, he worked with the Ellington and Basie Bands as well as most of the major players of the last 50 years, participating in over 900 recordings. Terry was also an important mentor to the likes of the young Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, and Quincy Jones. In 2010 he received a Grammy for life-time achievement. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This amazing album finds Terry backed by a 50-piece orchestra featuring the cream of Londons session musicians, including 28 strings. The album contains 12 classic ballads. For instance: Nature Boy with its richly woven orchestral tapestry of lush, dark harmonies, and Willow Weep For Me with the brassy-blue big band sound backing Terrys wide-ranging solo, the flowing warmth and depth of November Song, the melancholy of Yesterdays, and the foreboding of Angel Eyes, transformed into an easy double-time swing punctuated by a lush horn and string arrangement before Terry returns with a somber statement of love lost. Its a great album for late-night romancing, or simply lay back in your armchair and enjoy the artistry of one of the most coherent, beautiful sounding players jazz has to offer. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Liner notes include remastering info & amp; a picture of the original master tape box & lt;br & gt; Adapted original cover artwork & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Clark Terry, flugelhorn & lt;br & gt; Orchestra assembled by Nat Peck & lt;br & gt; Peter Herbolzheimer, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Then the Singers Unlimiteds 1971 MPS album Christmas is the perfect stocking stuffer. Leader Gene Puerlings advanced harmonic concepts influenced Take Six, Manhattan Transfer, and Brian Wilson. Legendary jazz singer Jon Hendricks compared Puerling to pioneering saxophonist Charlie Parker, exclaiming & quot;Gene broadened the harmonies, like Bird did with bebop. Arguably the best-known of the 15 albums Singers Unlimited recorded for MPS, Christmas contains such classics as Deck the Halls, Silent Night, and It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, arranged in Puerlings signature style. The a capella quartet modulates between the traditional and the jazz-inflected modern, at times exuberant, at times reflective. Seven originals were penned by jazz trumpeter Alfred Burt. First intended as Christmas cards for friends and family with lyrics by Burts Episcopalian pastor-father, the compositions have since become distinctive season standards. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Sounding as clean and pure as a childs breath on a cold winter morning, Christmas is a holiday gift that is a joy to listen to at any time of the year. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Formed in 1971, The Singers Unlimited were a four-part jazz vocal group whose members included Gene Puerling, Len Dresslar (also known as the Jolly Green Giant voice in commercials), Bonnie Herman, and Don Shelton. Originally formed to record for US commercials in the USA, they were persuaded to enter the recording studio to record a series of albums with their best known release ultimate being their Christmas album which combined the familiar holiday chesnuts with the jazzy bop of the groups vocals along with musical guests. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Remastered from the original master tapes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Remastered from original master tapes & lt;br & gt; Liner notes include remastering info & amp; a picture of the original master tape box & lt;br & gt; Adapted original cover artwork & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; The Singers Unlimited: & lt;br & gt; Len Dresslar & lt;br & gt; Bonnie Herman & lt;br & gt; Don Shelton & lt;br & gt; Gene Puerling (leader) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Without ever making concessions to the trend of the moment, the Kenny ClarkeFrancy Boland Big Band was the embodiment of the timeless art of the jazz orchestra. Its play was proof positive that a jazz big band compiled of top-flite musicians from both sides of the Atlantic could take off and soar. Regarded as the most important big band outside of the US, this bi-continental orchestra recorded over two dozen albums, close to a third of these under the SABA and MPS labels. Recorded in May, 1968, All Smiles was one of the Bands highpoints. The album exhibits a style that became synonymous with this US-European enterprise: it not only swung it was the perfect vehicle for Bolands sophisticated modern arrangements. Trumpeters Benny Bailey and Idrees Sulieman, saxophonists Johnny Griffin and Ronnie Scott, as well as special guest vibraphonist Dave Pike are some of the jazz giants among the soloists in this 17-man combo who turn out some masterly short portraits. From the fleet-footed waltz Im All Smiles to the bluesy party piece, By Strauss and the sensuous theme from Gloria, the journey continues on through to the furious John Phillip Souza finale, High School Cadets. Preferring varicolored intricacy over massive walls of sound, The Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band stood up against the constant flow of momentary fads, remaining true to the inventive tradition of the great big bands. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Gatefold & lt;br & gt; Liner notes, remastering information and a picture of the original master tape box inside & lt;br & gt; Made in Germany & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Kenny Clarke, drums, co-leader & lt;br & gt; Francy Boland, piano, co-leader & lt;br & gt; Benny Bailey, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Idrees Sulieman, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Jimmy Deuchar, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Sonny Grey, trumpet & lt;br & gt; Ake Persson, trombone & lt;br & gt; Nat Peck, trombone & lt;br & gt; Erik van Lier, trombone & lt;br & gt; Derek Humble, alto saxophone & lt;br & gt; Johnny Griffin, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Ronnie Scott, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Tony Coe, tenor saxophone & lt;br & gt; Sahib Shihab, baritone saxophone & lt;br & gt; Jimmy Woode, bass & lt;br & gt; Kenny Clare, drums & lt;br & gt; Dave Pike, vibes & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side I: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Classical, Avant-garde, East Indian and Balkan metric concepts, big band jazz Don Ellis brought it all together with his own orchestra; as early as the 1966 Monterey Jazz Festival, Ellis and band were putting the publics expectations to the test. Over the years Ellis expanded and refined the bands fantastic expressive abilities by, for instance, the integration of a string quartet into the group, or inviting the Bulgarian pianist Milcho Leviev as special guest. In 1973, trumpeter Ellis and orchestra recorded two albums for MPS. This first album is titled & quot;Soaring & quot;; the scintillating music created by 22 musicians, including a 12-piece horn section, three percussionists, and a string quartet provides a shimmering, translucent texture captured in a Hollywood studio at the zenith of the bands abilities. On the first composition, & quot;Whiplash & quot;, Ellis demonstrates how his band could accommodate funk to 7-beat time signature. & quot;Sladka Pitka & quot; is a showcase for insanely complex time signatures, and when it comes to & quot;The Devil Made Me Write This Piece & quot; with its layering of samba, legato strings, and chromatic lines, the devil is indeed in the details. With & quot;Go Back Home & quot;, tenor saxophonist Sam Falzone gifted the band with an instrumental hit, and & quot;Invincible & quot; is characterized by dramatic, lyrical paintings in sound. Ellis allows for some tender moments on & quot;Images Of Maria & quot; and & quot;Nicole & quot;, whereas Czech composer Aleksej Frieds & quot;Sidonie & quot; celebrates an exuberant festival of uneven rhythms. No question on & quot;Soaring & quot;Don Ellis gave the concept of big band jazz a completely new meaning. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Liner notes, remastering information and a picture of the original master tape box inside & lt;br & gt; Made in Germany & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Don Ellis, trumpet, electric trumpet, fluegelhorn, drums & lt;br & gt; Fred Selden, alto sax, flute, soprano sax, piccolo, alto flute & lt;br & gt; Vince Denham, alto sax, tenor sax, soprano sax, flute, piccolo & lt;br & gt; Sam Falzone, tenor sax, clarinet, flute & lt;br & gt; Gary Herbig, baritone sax, soprano sax, clarinet, flute, oboe & lt;br & gt; Gil Rathel, trumpet, fluegelhorn & lt;br & gt; Bruce Mackay, trumpet, fluegelhorn & lt;br & gt; Jack Caudill, trumpet, fluegelhorn & lt;br & gt; Sidney Muldrow, french horn & lt;br & gt; Mike Jamieson, trombone & lt;br & gt; Ken Sawhill, bas trombone & lt;br & gt; Doug Bixby, tuba & lt;br & gt; Jay Graydon, guitar, bag & lt;br & gt; Milcho Leviev, piano, Fender-Rhodes piano, organ, clavinet & lt;br & gt; Dave McDaniel, bass & lt;br & gt; Ralph Humprey, drums & lt;br & gt; Ron Dunn, drums, percussion & lt;br & gt; Lee Pastora, conga & lt;br & gt; Joel Quivey, electric violin & lt;br & gt; Earle Corry, electric violin & lt;br & gt; Renita Koven, electric viola & lt;br & gt; Pat Kudzia, electric cello & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side I: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Extraordinary Live Recording On 3LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;In April 2000, an extraordinary event commemorating the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil featured the great master of Brazilian guitar, Baden Powell. This was to be his last concert in Germany. The stage had been prepared for the man, who like no other, understood how to blend Afro-American and European music together. Within the framework of the Brasil 500 festival, the stage in Berlin was set as he made his appearance, in his obligatory white suit, making it the highlight of the festival. His beautifully clear and stylish performance ensured that the fully packed hall was held mesmerized for over two hours. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;In his lifetime, he recorded 60 albums and composed over 100 songs incorporating various styles such as Samba, Jazz and Baroque elements into his music. He also part founded the & quot;Bossa Nova. & quot; He was closely affiliated to Europe where he experienced even more success than in his homeland. This aspect flowed into the linking stories told that night and as he moved from song to song served to evidence the fact that he was one of the world's greatest acoustic guitarists. Unforgettable was his & quot;Samba triste & quot;. He is quoted as saying in one of his songs, & quot;to write a really beautiful Samba, you need a little sadness. & quot; Anybody who was lucky enough to have been there that night will never forget it. Baden Powell passed way shortly after in September 2000. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g 3LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by optimal media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vento vadio instrumental & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Samba do Avi & amp;#227;o & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Naquele tempo ch & amp;#244;ro & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Abaet & amp;#233; & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Manh & amp;#227; de carnaval & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Samba triste & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side C: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gar & amp;#244;ta de ipanema & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Varia & amp;#231; & amp;#245;es sobre asa branca & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side D: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;li & gt;Chega de Saudade & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Medley Bolinha De papel falseta / Primeira vez & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Samba em prel & amp;#250;dio & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tocata 147 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side E: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Berimbau & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Samba de ben & amp;#231; & amp;#227;o & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side F: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Medley n & amp;#234;ga do cabelo duro / Samba da minha terra & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Marcha escocesa instrumental & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180 Gram Pressing! Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot;...one of contemporary jazz's great performers... & quot; so reads the prestigious Guardian newspaper's assessment of English pianist John Taylor. As house pianist at London's legendary Ronny Scott's jazz club, Taylor accompanied many of the icons of jazz, and in so doing honed his individual style into what became one of the most important voices on the European jazz scene. The gigs and recordings of his own groups, his long-time association with trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, his many ECM trio recordings with Peter Erskine and Palle Danielsonn and groups lead by the likes of Jan Garbarek and John Surman established Taylor's importance. Taylor's 1973 MPS trio album Decipher features two top players, bassist Chris Laurence and drummer Tony Levin, who perfectly compliment Taylor's wide-ranging style on an album that offers the listener a delicious taste of his compositions. The virtuoso sprint of Cipher melds into the varying tempos and emotions of Wait For Me, whereas Leaping is a pointillist abstract exchange between the three. The emotive jazz waltz Speak to Me plays some magical slight-of-hand with the time, and Song For a Child sings out as a soft-spoken ballad. White Magic powers through as a hard-swinging elixir for all that ails. Taylor's second album as leader presents a master composer/player at full maturity - what a joy that this music is available once again. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Audiophile pressing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes, remastering information and a picture of the original master tape box inside & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;John Taylor & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Chris Laurence & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Tony Levin & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Cipher / Wait For Me & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Leaping & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Speak To Me & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Song For A Child & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;White Magic & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Audiophile Analogue Remastering! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;When in January, 1970 Count Basie entered the studio with his 17-piece big band to record High Voltage, he ushered in the last full decade as bandleader of his Orchestra. The Orchestra had left its imprint on the sixties by recording with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. There would be more great albums with star vocalists in the '70s but the band's purely instrumental works, which had begun in 1965, would also continue. Back then Basie had engaged acclaimed Cuban composer/arranger Chico O'Farrill to arrange the music for such concept albums as Basie Meets Bond and Basie's Beatle Bag, transforming them into crossover gems. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;On High Voltage, arranger Chico O'Farrill demonstrates his affinity to Basie's big band sound, this time with a repertoire of standards. For this album, Basie specifically chose pieces the band had never recorded in their more than 30-year existence. This is saying something, since the band covers such an impressive span of jazz history, from the beginning of the swing era to the bop-influenced bands of the '50s on through to the present album. The Count's new drummer Harold Jones propels Fred Fisher's & quot;Chicago & quot; with a tremendous drive. The Rogers and Hart classic & quot;Have You Met Miss Jones & quot; features beguilingly dense deep-register horn lines and an almost languorous piano, and Eric Dixon's tasty flute solo spices up & quot;The Lady Is A Tramp. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;With its smoky sophistication, Eddie Lockjaw Davis's Tenor dominates & quot;Bewitched, & quot; whereas guest trumpeter Joe Newman's muted tongue-in-cheek solo highlights & quot;Day In Day Out. & quot; Of course, Basie himself also steps forward: for instance, on the Fats Waller-like intro to & quot;I'm Getting Sentimental Over You, & quot; and with the playful grace notes on & quot;If I Were A Bell. & quot; Reminiscent of the Las Vegas shows the band performed with Frank Sinatra, & quot;Get Me To The Church On Time & quot; is also a masterful dialogue between the horn sections. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Audiophile analog remastering & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes, remastering information & amp; a picture of the original master tape box inside & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by Optimal Media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 1: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Chicago & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Have You Met Miss Jones & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Lady Is A Tramp & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I'm Getting Sentimental Over You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Bewitched & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Day In Day Out & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 2: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Get Me To The Church On Time & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;When Sonny Gets Blue & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;On the Sunny Side Of The Street & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Together & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;If I Were A Bell & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Didn't Know What Time It Was & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In 1971, 27-year-old guitarist Volker Kriegel gifted MPS one of his most amazing recordings ever - the second one under his own name, while at the same time playing a parallel role as guitarist with the popular group the Dave Pike Set. In this quintet lineup, Kriegels amazing qualities fan out into the areas of jazz-rock, lyrical folk and free jazz. There are the familiar sitar-Indie-rock tones, familiar to listeners through Kriegel's play with Dave Pike: & quot;Zoom & quot; opens the album with an electrified jolt, and its not just because of Kriegels overpowering trance-like solos Peter Trunks grooving bass lines and Cees Sees driving percussion also have their say. & quot;So Long For Now & quot;, delights with its relaxed blues-rock feel which finds Trunk and drummer Peter Baumeister in intimate dialogue as they hook up with Kriegels silky-smooth, flowing lines and John Taylors smoldering Electra-piano play. The savvy rondo & quot;More About D & quot; and & quot;Instant Judgment & quot; thrillingly showcase the groups seamless integration of lyrical, swinging passages with freely cascading sounds. And then out of the blue there appears & quot;Suspicious Child, Growing Up & quot;. Bluesy, folk-hued, and easy-going, its off-handedness is outdone only by the dreamy ballad & quot;Ach Kina & quot;. In the finale, Kriegel and his cohorts once again focus on the whole Spectrum in a fantastic, dancing interplay of smoldering keys, stratospheric cello lines, a complexity of percussion rhythms and virtuoso guitar play adorned with soulful whimsy. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; Liner notes, remastering information and a picture of the original master tape box inside & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Peter Trunk, bass, electric bass, cello & lt;br & gt; Peter Baumeister, drums, percussion & lt;br & gt; John Taylor, electric piano & lt;br & gt; Volker Kriegel, guitar, sitar, & lt;br & gt; Cees See, percussion & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g Pressing! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;In many ways, this trio recording is a milestone in the career of this young Californian. Duke unveils more of his early experiments with the ARP synthesizer, as well as a new creativity on such more conventional keyboards, as the Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes, and the clavinet. As a result, Faces in Reflection is characterized by a wide variety of tonal hues. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The journey moves from the explosive & quot;The Opening & quot; on to the tender-tinged & quot;Capricorn, & quot; which Duke had snatched from the Cannonball Adderley repertoire. Adderley had been the second major player he had worked with during that early period; Frank Zappa was the first. Two impressionistic solo intermezzi segue into the funky fusion escapade & quot;Psychocomatic Dung, & quot; with superb interplay between drummer & quot;Ndugu & quot; and bassist John Heard. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The title piece's secretive synth lines are the moments of calm before Duke's passionate love affair with Brazil on the B side. The most surprising excursion on this side is the vibrant and rhythmically intricate adaptation of Milton Nascimentos's & quot;Maria Tr & amp;#234;s Filhos & quot;, counterbalanced by the synth laboratory of & quot;North Beach & quot;. Duke himself cherished the recordings; he stated that, & quot;This was the first LP that really said what I wanted to say. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Audiophile Analogue Remastering & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner Notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Picture of the Original Master Tape Box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by optimal media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;George Duke & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;keyboards & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ndugu & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;John Heard & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Opening & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Capricorn & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Piano Solo No. 1 + 2 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Psychocomatic Dung & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Faces In Reflection No. 1 (instrumental) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Maria Tres Filhos & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;North Beach & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Da Somba & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Faces In Reflection No. 2 (vocal) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

On & quot;Seeing You & quot; Duke lays on a glaze of soulful tenderness, whereas & quot;What The... & quot; is 30 seconds of frivolous funning around. & quot;Back to Where We Never Left & quot; is a witty gem in which Duke bundles his pool of synthesizers into a united groove, whereas & quot;I C'n Hear That & quot; shows off synth and marimba tonal colors in dialogue, with the bass riffing on the bottom. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The album flows into the final bend carrying along the sonorous richness of Brazil. & quot;After the Love & quot; plays with the languorous erotic colors of the tropics, whereas all the band members are allowed to shine on the epic circa ten minute title track with its hot samba flair: the rhythm section with & quot;Ndugu & quot;, Al Johnson, and Airto Moreira's percussion arsenal, Daryl Stuermer with his rock interludes on guitar, and Duke himself with inspired virtuosity on all sorts of synths and keyboards. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Audiophile Pressing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Analogue Remastering (AAA) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes and a picture of the original master tape box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;George Duke & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals, keyboards, synthesizers & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Embamba & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Leon & quot;Ndugu & quot; Chancler & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums, 'Roto-Toms,' vocals on & quot;Liberated Fantasies & quot; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Napoleon Murphy Brock & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;lead vocals on & quot;Tryin' & amp; Cryin', & quot; background vocals on & quot;Seeing You & quot; and & quot;Liberated Fantasies & quot; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Janet Ferguson Hof & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;background vocals on & quot;Seeing You, & quot; voice of & quot;Amanda & quot; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Bonnie Bowdon Amaro & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals on & quot;After The Love & quot; and & quot;Liberated Fantasies & quot; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;David Amaro & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;acoustic guitar on & quot;After The Love & quot; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Daryl Stuermer & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;guitar on & quot;Tryin' & amp; Cryin' & quot; and & quot;Liberated Fantasies & quot; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;George Johnson & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;guitar on & quot;Don't Be Shy & quot; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ruth K.

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;In her extraordinary career, Ella Fitzgerald, the & quot;first lady of song, & quot; collaborated with the key figures of big band jazz - among others with Chick Webb and Dizzy Gillespie - won a total of 13 Grammys and was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1987. Her distinctive interpretations of jazz standards can be found in countless American songbook albums. Ella's expanded repertoire, enthusiastic about the then burgeoning Bossa nova and pop, appeared principally on her albums from the late 1960s. As the founder of Verve, Norman Granz put together many of her live recordings in 1969 for an MPS album, so the album title was chosen as the Clapton classic & quot;Sunshine of Your Love & quot;. The album offers an impressive musical range of colors with compositions by John Lennon, Eric Clapton and Ant & amp;#244;nio Carlos Jobim on the one hand, and big band classics, such as & quot;Give Me the Simple Life & quot; and & quot;Old Devil Moon & quot; on the other. Rousingly interpreted by the Ernie Heckscher Big Band and the Tommy Flanagan Trio. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Captured on AAA tape, the euphoric evenings of the series of concerts from the San Francisco Fairmont Hotel become an analogous journey through time full of jazz nostalgia. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; She has been more famous, over a longer time span, than any other female singer. & lt;footer & gt; -Leonard Feather & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Audiophile Pressing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Produced from original master tapes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;No correction of sound dynamics: a reproduction of the original sound & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Includes original liner notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ella Fitzgerald & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Tommy Flanagan & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ed Thigpen & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Frank de la Rosa & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ernie Heckscher Big Band & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt; & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side I: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Hey Jude & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sunshine Of Your Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;This Girl's In Love With You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Watch What Happens & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Alright, Okay, You Win & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Give Me The Simple Life & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side II: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Useless Landscape & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Old Devil Moon & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Don'cha Go 'Way Mad & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A House Is Not A Home & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Trouble Is A Man & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Love You Madly & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180 Gram Pressing! Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Brazilian guitar maestro Baden Powell's seminal years with producer Joachim-Ernst Berendt and MPS stretch from 1966 to 1975, with a total of two sets of three LPs. Tristeza On Guitar was the beginning of this nine-year collaboration. The repertoire is in no way characterized by sadness, as the title might cause one to believe. It embraces a sublime spectrum ranging from a ritual feel to exuberant carnival atmosphere on through to intimate songs with a singable quality. Baden clothes the title piece, the famous bittersweet samba from Haroldo Lobo and Niltinho, in a dance-like virtuoso succession of variations. He fashions the theme & quot;Manha De Carnaval & quot; from the movie Black Orpheus into a ritualistic celebration of pain. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The pieces dedicated to the gods of the Afro-Brazilian Candombl & amp;#233; religion ( & quot;Canto de Xang & amp;#244;, & quot; & quot;Canto de Ossanha & quot;) are central to the album. They originate from the & quot;Afro-sambas & quot; music cycle completed four years earlier; here they have flowered to perfection. Monk's & quot;Round Midnight & quot; takes on the colors of a balmy tropical evening; the studio's ingenious use of space helps create the appropriately mysterious atmosphere. And in the middle lies a valuable solo inlay: Bahian poet Dorival Caymmi's unadorned song & quot;Das Rosas & quot; transformed into a serenade on the strings. Today, over half a century later, one still succumbs to this fascinating & quot;gateway drug & quot; - the first MPS album of this Brazilian maestro. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g audiophile pressing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes include remastering info & amp; a picture of the original master tape box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pressed at Optimal Media Gmbh in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Baden Powell & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;guitar/agogo/surdo & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Sergio & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Milton Banana & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Copinha & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;flute/agogo & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Alfredo Bessa & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;atabaque/guica & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Amauri Coelho Da Rosa & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;atabaque/pandeiro & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side I: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tristeza & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Canto De Xango & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Round About Midnight & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sarava & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Canto De Ossanha & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side II: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Manha De Carneval & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Invencao Em 7 1/2 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Das Rosas & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Som Do Carnaval & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;O Astronauta & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Pianist Joanne Grauer has been a fixture in the Los Angeles area since her teenage years, playing with Stanley Turrentine, Gabor Szabo, and Zoot Sims. Thanks to this album as well as one she recorded in the '50s, Grauer has an international coterie of devoted fans. There's the added attraction of singer Lorraine Feather. Down Beat has called her work & quot;deliciously savvy, & quot; and Jazz Times dubbed her vocal interpretations & quot;pure genius & quot;. A group of ace LA musicians lay a solid foundation. Known for his work with Joe Pass, drummer Colin Bailey launches Grauer into a wild-tempered ride on & quot;Gork. & quot; Barbara Streisand's & quot;Evergreen & quot; offers a touch of funk with Joanne on electric keyboard. The medley & quot;Misty Dreams & amp; Ruffy's Eyes & quot; roams between balladic elegy and frisky up-tempo play. & quot;Longing & quot; sways to a dreamy Latin beat, while Joanne revisits Michel Legrand's & quot;Happy, & quot; the song she played for the movie Lady Sings the Blues. The next three pieces feature Lorraine Feather. The rocking Latin-laced & quot;See You Later & quot; has the great saxophonist Ernie Watts trading lines with Feather. & quot;Can't Sleep & quot; oozes with funky heat and romantic longing, and & quot;The Voice & quot; features some impressive vocalese by Feather. In & quot;Frog Child, & quot; Grauer's trio ventures into some fast and furious funk, with a bit of bop and free jazz thrown into the mix.

In the series Ambassadors for MPS, the Canadian now reveals another exciting face with a 1969 recording selected by Till Br & amp;#246;nner: on Motions & amp; Emotions we experience him with jazz versions of popular pieces from Pop, Easy Listening and Songwriting as the protagonist of a quartet of longtime companions, embedded in rich orchestral colors. She was painted by a magician of the guild, the great Claus Ogerman, who had previously worked for Tom Jobim. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Audiophile Analogue Remastering & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner Notes by Till Br & amp;#246;nner & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Image of the Original Master Tape Box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;OBI Strip & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by optimal media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Bobby Durham & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Sam Jones & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Oscar Peterson & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Bucky Pizzarelli & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;guitar & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side One: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sally's Tomato & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sunny & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;By The Time I Get To Phoenix & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Wandering & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;This Guy's In Love With You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Two: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Wave & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Dreamsville & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Yesterday & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Eleanor Rigby & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ode To Billy Joe & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Thanks to this album as well as one she recorded in the '50s, Grauer has an international coterie of devoted fans. There's the added attraction of singer Lorraine Feather. Down Beat has called her work & lt;b & gt; & quot;deliciously savvy & quot; & lt;/b & gt;, and Jazz Times dubbed her vocal interpretations & lt;b & gt; & quot;pure genius & quot; & lt;/b & gt;. A group of ace LA musicians lay a solid foundation. Known for his work with Joe Pass, drummer Colin Bailey launches Grauer into a wild-tempered ride on & quot;Gork & quot;. Barbara Streisand's & quot;Evergreen & quot; offers a touch of funk with Joanne on electric keyboard. The medley & quot;Misty Dreams & amp; Ruffy's Eyes & quot; roams between balladic elegy and frisky up-tempo play. & quot;Longing & quot; sways to a dreamy Latin beat, while Joanne revisits Michel Legrand's & quot;Happy & quot;, the song she played for the movie Lady Sings the Blues. The next three pieces feature Lorraine Feather. The rocking Latin-laced & quot;See You Later & quot; has the great saxophonist Ernie Watts trading lines with Feather. & quot;Can't Sleep & quot; oozes with funky heat and romantic longing, and & quot;The Voice & quot; features some impressive vocalese by Feather. In & quot;Frog Child & quot;, Grauer's trio ventures into some fast and furious funk, with a bit of bop and free jazz thrown into the mix. The revived interest in this exquisite pianist is well-deserved the album is a surprise of delights! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 180g Audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Made in Germany & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Joanne Grauer, keyboards & lt;br & gt; Lorraine Feather, vocals (B1-B3) & lt;br & gt; David Troncoso, bass (A1-A5, B4) & lt;br & gt; Colin Bailey, drums & lt;br & gt; Ernie Watts, tenor saxophone (B1-B3) & lt;br & gt; Paulinho Da Costa, percussion (A4, B1-B3) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Orders with both pre-order and in stock items will have all in stock items shipped immediately! & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Limited Edition - 1000 Copies Worldwide! & lt;br & gt; 9LP Box Set! & lt;br & gt; Newly Mastered For Vinyl! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;With the help of Rolf K & amp;#252;hn, MPS has put together this limited box set to celebrate the 90th birthday and the life of a true jazz icon. The box contains a selection of Rolf K & amp;#252;hn's MPS albums as well as a new and exclusive vinyl with live recordings from the '60s - all newly mastered for vinyl. Furthermore, a 12-page box-sized booklet is included. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The box set is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;For a German jazz musician to find international recognition as a major player has been and remains a rarity. Clarinetist Rolf K & amp;#252;hn belongs to this elite class. And there are ample grounds for this: he is an exceptional artist on his instrument. No one sounds like him on the clarinet; warm, round and masterful, his tone remains unmistakable no matter what style he may be playing at any given moment. His play resonates with a maturity and wisdom gathered from a long and rich life of musical experiences. K & amp;#252;hn continues to be driven by an unbridled curiosity that compels him to continually stray from familiar paths and tried and true formulas. Yet equanimity and a sense of completeness are as intrinsic to his work as the daring and the adventure of risk-taking. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Rolf K & amp;#252;hn has absorbed the entire history of jazz. What began with a youthful fascination for swing eventually led him into the freest areas of improvisation, while maintaining an unerring sense of form and quality. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;K & amp;#252;hn continues to explore contemporary horizons and dares to venture into new musical territory. In this way, he is like his younger brother, pianist Joachim K & amp;#252;hn. The two had already begun to play together when the 15-year older Rolf would visit his brother behind the Iron Curtain at Joachim's home in Leipzig. After Joachim made his escape to the West, the K & amp;#252;hn brothers gave a triumphant concert at the Berlin Jazz Days, followed by a performance at the Newport Jazz Festival. Two weeks later they were in New York City recording on the legendary Impulse! label with their festival quartet, which included Coltrane bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Aldo Romano. In 2012 Rolf and Joachim reconnected with Impulse! with their album & quot;Lifeline & quot;, featuring bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade. The albums Rolf K & amp;#252;hn recorded for the MPS label in the 1970s are now among the milestones of the music, and have become coveted collector's items. The list of band members on these albums reads like a who's who of the last half-century. The music spans jazz, fusion, and the avant-garde, as K & amp;#252;hn engages with the cr & amp;#232;me de la cr & amp;#232;me. Alphonse Mouzon, Philip Catherine and Wolfgang Dauner, Michael and Randy Brecker, Chick Corea, Charlie Mariano and Dave Liebman, as well as such musical freethinkers as Lee Konitz, Albert Mangelsdorff and Ornette Coleman are among the musicians that join K & amp;#252;hn on the MPS sides. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Characterized by a deep affection and intuitive understanding for each other, Rolf K & amp;#252;hn's collaboration with brother Joachim is a constant that runs through his work. So it is not surprising that the two were jointly awarded for their life's work with the Jazz-Echo Prize in 2012 and the German Jazz Trophy in 2018. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Vitality and wisdom, maturity and brilliance - Rolf K & amp;#252;hn's music is his gift to his continually expanding intergenerational crowd of fans and admirers in the jazz world and beyond. His decades-long presence as a powerful creative force continues with no end in sight. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Limited Edition - 1000 Copies & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;9LP Box Set & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Exclusive Content & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;12-page box-sized booklet & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Newly mastered for vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Original artworks & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Slipcase & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;The Rolf K & amp;#252;hn Group - Total Space (1975) - 1LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Uncle Archibald & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Buzz & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lopes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Total Space & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Miss Maggie & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;The Rolf K & amp;#252;hn Orchestra - Symphonic Swampfire (1979) - 1LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Swampfire Part 1 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Swampfire Part 2 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;La Canal & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Just Call & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Judy & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Rolf K & amp;#252;hn - Cucu Ear (1980) - 1LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;One More Bass Hit (Dedicated To My Mother) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Key-Alliance & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;To Zbiggi & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Cucu Ear & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Beverly Hills Party & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sultans of Jazz & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Rolf K & amp;#252;hn Unit - Stereo (2015) (never released on vinyl before) - 1LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;District 7 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Black Jasmine & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Q11 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Descendants & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Stereo & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Husky & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A Little Circus & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Shogun & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Open Windows & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Goodbye (For Buddy) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Rolf K & amp;#252;hn - Spotlights (2016 - never released on vinyl before) - 2LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Conversation One & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pinnochio's Dream & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pinnochio's Dance & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Don't Forget & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Choro Do Portina & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Broken City & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Laura & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Fingerprints & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A Strange Sunrise & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;X-Ray & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Flip-Flop & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Autumn Leaves & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Rolf K & amp;#252;hn - Yellow + Blue (2018 - never released on vinyl before) - 2LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Both Sides Now & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Angel Eyes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Yellow And Blue & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Impulse & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Second Time & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Train To Norway & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I'm Through With Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Conversation III & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mela's Interplay & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Body And Soul & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Rolf + Joachim K & amp;#252;hn - Berlin '66 / Newport '67 Live (2019 - exclusive to this box set) - 1LP & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Golem & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Chiarescuro & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Don't Run & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Flowers In the Dark & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Sound of Cats & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Turning Point & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;1969 Live Recording On 180g Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Remastered From The Original Master Tape! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;With his big, warm, round-toned sound, sophisticated phrasing, and hip quotes, Dexter Gordon was one of the major forces on the tenor saxophone from the mid-1940s until his death in 1990. Gordon was cited by both Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane as a major influence on their playing, and is acknowledged as a jazz icon. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The popularity of mainstream jazz was on the decline in the States during the 1960s. The Vietnam war and racial turmoil were in high gear, and many of the music's top-flight musicians, including Gordon, migrated to Europe in order both to escape and to make a living playing jazz. Gordon eventually settled in Copenhagen, Denmark. During this period, he usually played and recorded backed by a piano trio, but this 1969 recording is different. The usual quartet has been expanded with some of those premiere jazz & quot;refugees, & quot; each a major voice on his instrument, assembled for the session. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;One of the great modern jazz trombonists, Slide Hampton is also a composer/arranger of note. The album was a collaborative venture between Gordon and Hampton, and three of the compositions and all of the arrangements on the album are his. The classy Jamaican trumpeter Dizzy Reese completes the front line. The rhythm section includes two jazz giants who were Gordon's constant companions at Copenhagen's famous Club Montmartre, fellow American expatriate pianist Kenny Drew and the great Danish bassist N.-H. & amp;#214;rsted-Peterson. The Gordon-Drew pairing is one of the classic horn-piano matchups in jazz, and has often been compared with the Miles Davis-Red Garland and John Coltrane-McCoy Tyner pairings. Art Taylor, who & quot;helped define the sound of modern drumming, & quot; was brought in from Paris to complete the all-star rhythm section. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastered from the Original Master Tape & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner Notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Picture of the Original Master Tape Box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Stereo - Also Playable Mono & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by optimal media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Kenny Drew & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Dexter Gordon & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;tenor sax & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Slide Hampton & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;trombone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Niels-Henning & amp;#216;rsted Pedersen & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Dizzy Reece & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;trumpet & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Art Taylor & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;My Blues & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;You Don't Know What Love Is & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A New Thing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;What's New & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Shadow Of Your Smile & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A Day In Vienna & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

To be exact, it goes back more than three decades to the London of the 1980's when Gilles stood at the beginning of an exceptional career as DJ, Radio personality, and producer. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;He seemed to be able to effortlessly show a completely new connection between classic jazz recordings through the way they were chosen, assorted, and sequenced. Thus, every single title was imbued with a new energy, freshness, and, above all, timelessness, always with an eye on whether the chosen recordings would possibly be compatible with the needs of clubs. The compilation Magic Peterson Sunshine reflects this in the best way. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by Optimal Media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Don Ellis - Dew & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mary Lou Williams - It Ain't Necessarily So & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Wolfgang Lauth - Denn Liebe ist stark wie der Tod & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Jonny Teupen - Harp Revolution & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pedro Iturralde Quintet feat.

With his rapid swing versions, Cicero proves why he really deserves the nickname that was given to him: & quot;Mr. Golden Hands. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;From Couperin to Johann Sebastian Bach and Scarlatti, from Karl Phillip Emanuel Bach to Mozart, the reinterpretations on this record take you through one of the great centuries of Western music. Cicero treats the compositions of the great composers of the 18th century with respect and awe. The themes and melodies gain clarity and contour like they rarely do with someone who likes to play them & quot;true to the work. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Eugen Cicero would have turned 80 in 2020, but unfortunately the exceptional pianist died much too young at the age of 57 due to a cerebral infarct. A tragic fate that his son Roger Cicero - who also became a famous German jazz musician - should share with him. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastered from the original master tape & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Original & amp; additional liner notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Picture of the original master tape box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by Optimal Media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Eugen Cicero & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Peter Witte & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Charly Antolini & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Solfeggio In C-minor & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sonata In C & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;L'adolescente & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Bach's Softly Sunrise & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Fantasia In D minor & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Erbarme dich, mein Gott (from the St Matthew Passion) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Long-Awaited Reissue On 180g Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Remastered From The Original Master Tape! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;The long-awaited reissue of an absolutely unique music group's debut album. The American vibraphonist Dave Pike had already become famous in the 1960s through his work with the likes of Herbie Mann, Bill Evans and Paul Bley. Heding towards Europe, the combination of Pike's vibraphone style and the electrical as well acoustic guitar and sitar play by the German Volker Kriegel made the Dave Pike set an instant success. Noisy Silence - Gentle Noise is an ideal title for this record. Dave Pike's and Volker Kriegel's music is as light as it is loud, eloquent as it is silent, romance is hidden behind its power. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot;Mathar & quot; became the most popular track on the album, which is known far beyond genre boundaries and still streamed millionfold. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The reissue includes so far unreleased pictures of the band in the MPS studio. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastered from the original master tape & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Previously unreleased photos & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Picture of the original master tape box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Dave Pike & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vibes, tambourin & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Volker Kriegel & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;guitar (amplif. and unamplif.), sitar & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Hans Rettenbacher & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Peter Baumeister & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side I: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;I'm On My Way & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Regards From Freddie Horrowitz & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Somewhat, Somewhere, Somehow & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Noisy Silence - Gentle Noise & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side II: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mother People & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mathar & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vian-De & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Teaming Up & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Walkin' Down The Highway In A Red Raw Egg & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180 Gram Pressing! Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;In 1971 George Duke, having just recently done his time with the Mothers of Invention, was engaged by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet. Beginning in April of that year, Duke made two recordings over a short timespan that on their release in 1973 as a double LP (against the desire of the artists, by the way), would be a major statement. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;On Chapter One of his fusion autobiography, & quot;Solus, & quot; Duke, along with the skeleton crew of bassist John Heard and drummer Dick Berk, tries out the new compositional philosophy he had absorbed from his work with Adderley. The album was obliged to maintain a jazzy environment, illustrated by the harmonically flowing piano improvisation on & quot;Love Reborn & quot; and the bop-influenced busyness of & quot;The Followers & quot;. But the record also signifies the importance of the keyboards in all their diverse contexts - the funky rock of & quot;Au-right, & quot; and the smoldering, dreamy feel of & quot;Peace, & quot; for instance. And on & quot;Manya & quot; Duke lives it up as he shows off his exuberant experimental synth side. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot;The Inner Source & quot; continues in the same vein. & quot;So There You Go & quot; is a downright delightful waltz featuring e-piano, whereas & quot;Some Time Ago & quot; is pure tonal color and atmosphere. We find an exotic gem in & quot;Nigerian Numberumba & quot; in which an African Lamellophone is craftily simulated with an echoplex and ring modulator. Duke also begins to vary the lineup here. & quot;Feels So Good & quot; and & quot;My Soul & quot; are reinforced with Latin percussion, and incisive horn and reed instruments (luminaries from the Thad Jones and Santana entourages). The same with the title track, a masterstroke of quintet dramaturgy, with Duke on his first instrument, the trombone. As a curiosity, two basses compete with each other on & quot;Twenty Five. & quot; The last piece, & quot;Always Constant, & quot; is a more open piece that spontaneously unfolded in the studio. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Audiophile Pressing & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Analogue Remastering (AAA) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner notes and a picture of the original master tape box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Luis Gasca & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;flugelhorn, trumpet & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Jerome Richardson & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;tenor & amp; soprano saxophones, flute & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Dick Berk & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums, percussion & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;James Leary & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass violin & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Armando Peroza & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;congas & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;George Duke & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano, electric piano, keyboards, trombone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;John Heard & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass, electric bass, bass violin & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side One: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Au Right & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Love Reborn & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Peace & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;My Soul & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Two: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Feels So Good & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Manya & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sweet Bite & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Followers & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Three: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Inner Source & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Life & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Some Time Ago & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;So There You Go & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Four: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Solus & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Nigerian Numberuma & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Twenty-Five & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Always Constant & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Joe Pass (born Joseph Passalaqua) knew how to conjoin melody and chords. Moreover, he brought the walking bass line into the jazz guitar repertoire, as heard in his duo performances with Ella Fitzgerald. Since the American had a first-class bassist in Eberhard Weber at his side during his June 1970 MPS session in Germanys idyllic Black Forest, Pass could concentrate on playing the melody and the chords. Weber, who comes from Stuttgart, Germany, would soon develop his own electric bass, but at this point he was still playing the traditional acoustic contrabass. Third in the group was British drummer Kenny Clare (not to be confused with American drummer Kenny Clarke). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Pass chose the program for the recording, mixing standards with originals. Its amazing how such typical big band pieces as & quot;Stompin at the Savoy & quot; and & quot;Lil Darlin & quot; sound in trio; Pass and company swing like they were Count Basie and his orchestra. The 1970 liner notes designate & quot;I Love You & quot; as the albums high point: & lt;b & gt; & quot;It is a small jewel for guitar, bass, and drums. Eberhard Weber has a short but exciting solo. Kenny Clare attacks with elaborate brush work throughout. Joe Pass plays with a feather-light sense of swing. His refined lines have a singable quality to them, and he often phrases as if he were a saxophonist. & lt;/b & gt; & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; Made in Germany & lt;br & gt; Produced from original master tapes & lt;br & gt; No correction of sound dynamics: a reproduction of the original sound & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Joe Pass, guitar & lt;br & gt; Eberhard Weber, bass & lt;br & gt; Kenny Clare, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Remastered From The Original Master Tape! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;A duo album of the highest caliber! US Alto saxophonist Lee Konitz's career encompassed the beginnings of bebop, cool jazz, and mainstream, as well as the avant-garde. Konitz has recorded with virtually every major modern jazz figure of the last 60 years, from Miles Davis and his seminal Birth of the Cool album, Charles Mingus, Gil Evans, Brad Mehldau, to Bill Frisell and Paul Motian. French-Algerian pianist Martial Solal has been a major musical voice since the 1950s. Born in 1927, the same year as Konitz, the 93-year-old Solal and his ferocious virtuoso technique was the perfect foil for Konitz's cerebral, introspective play. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The two had a rich musical relationship from the late 1960s on, as they toured together throughout the US and Europe. This album, recorded at the Berlin Jazz Days 1980 was conceived in part as a & quot;Lennie Tristano Memorial. & quot; Lee's studies and playing experience with the iconoclastic pianist left an indelible imprint on the saxophonist's concept and allowed him to develop a unique style that offered an alternate musical vision from that of his legendary contemporary, altoist Charlie Parker. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Lee Konitz was 92 when he died in Manhattan on April 15, 2020 from complications caused by COVID-19. Konitz always contended that he was & quot;just a standards player, & quot; yet he also stated that & quot;My playing was about making a personal statement - I wanted to play original music. & quot; Both were true - he transformed those standards into his personal vision, and in so doing has found his place in the jazz pantheon. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastered from the Original Master Tape & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner Notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Picture of the Original Master Tape Box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by optimal media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Lee Konitz & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;alto sax & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Martial Solal & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side One: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Invitation & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;No. 317 East 32nd Street & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A Ballad For Lennie & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Improvisation No.53 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side Two: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Just A Blues & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Star Eyes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Noblesse Oblige & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Subconsciously & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Legendary drummer Kenny Clarke compared Jean-Luc Ponty to Dizzy Gillespie. Fellow violinist Stuff Smith marveled, & quot;He plays violin like Coltrane plays saxophone. & quot; Born in 1942, the French violinist transported jazz violin playing into the world of modern jazz. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Pianist Wolfgang Dauner, born in 1935, is a German jazz institution. His various experiments fusing jazz, classical, rock and avant-garde elements catapulted him to the front of contemporary European jazz. He ran the gamut of jazz styles and trends in a career that spanned over six decades. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Despite the greatest admiration for each other and many performances throughout the late 60s, Ponty and Dauner lost contact after Ponty moved to California in 1973 and both embarked on new musical adventures. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;It took over two decades until both reconnected after the violinist was invited as a performer for a special concert celebrating Dauner's 60th birthday. As Ponty explains: & quot;He suggested that we play a few tunes together as an acoustic duet and I loved it so much that I decided to do more concerts with this format. Years later we heard the live recording of our live performance at the Bern Jazz Festival 2011 and we both agreed that we should release it as a live album. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot;I was extremely saddened when Wolfgang passed away in January 2020 and the release of this live album became even more important to me as it adds to the legacy that Wolfgang is leaving to the musical world. It also feels very special for me to work again with the MPS label, for which Wolfgang and I have produced several recordings in the 60s. We made a selection of his compositions and mine that worked best as an acoustic duo. I always loved his lyrical pieces with rich harmonies, the poetic and spacy moods of his music with which I felt a strong affinity. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Jean-Luc Ponty & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;violin & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Wolfgang Dauner & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Once Upon A Dream & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Drachenburg F & amp;#252;r R & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Suite For Claudia & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Two Thousands - One Year Ago & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Porgy & amp; Bess & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pamukkale & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Up And Downer & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Yin & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g Vinyl Pressing From The Original Master Tape! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Masterful piano playing meets up with elaborate vocal harmony in this legendary MPS summit meeting from the label's early period. Oscar Peterson, along with bassist George Mraz and drummer Louis Hayes act as the counterweights to the vocal architects from Chicago. Peterson himself instigated the first contact between the MPS studio and The Singers Unlimited (TSU). That contact developed into a fruitful decade-long relationship; the Black Forest studio's superb technology perfectly suited the sophisticated requirements of vocal artist and leader Gene Puerling. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Recorded in 1971, In Tune was TSU's first album on MPS. It feeds off the languages of the two musical poles, whether it's in the swinging give and take of the opener, & quot;Sesame Street, & quot; or in the switch from the reverential orchestrally-layered choir intro to Peterson's sparkling play on & quot;It Never Entered My Mind. & quot; It's the same with the dreamy arrangement of & quot;The Shadow of Your Smile & quot;; in his role as delicate accompanist, Peterson narrows it down to the essentials. Peterson and TSU soprano Bonnie Herman take improvisatory strolls together in the nostalgic Michel Legrand ballad & quot;Once Upon a Summertime. & quot; Two Brazilian excursions are highlighted: In Ant & amp;#244;nio Carlos Jobim's & quot;Children's Game & quot; TSU delivers polysyllabic ornamentation to Peterson's rollicking waltz whimsy; in Luis Bonf & amp;#225;'s & quot;The Gentle Rain, & quot; Peterson plays around with the amative choral harmonies. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Audiophile pressing from the original master tape & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vocal arrangements by Gene Puerling & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by Optimal Media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Oscar Peterson & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;George Mraz & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Louis Hayes & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Len Dresslar & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Bonnie Herman & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Gene Puerling & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Don Shelton & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 1: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sesame Street & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;It Never Entered My Mind & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Children's Game & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Gentle Rain & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A Child Is Born & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 2: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Shadow Of Your Smile & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Catherine & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Once Upon A Summertime & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Here's That Rainy Day & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;180 Gram Pressing! Analogue Remastering (AAA)! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This 1971 recording signals the beginning of Jamaican pianist Monty Alexanders fruitful relationship with MPS, lasting over a decade and encompassing some dozen albums. Originally touted as heir to Oscar Petersons crown, Alexander is famous for his virtuoso melding of jazz, the sounds of the Caribbean and blues. The classic Dave Brubeck Quartets bassist Eugene Wright, calypso percussionist Montego Joe, and ace drummer Duffy Jackson round out the quartet. Montevideo jumps off with percussive Latin two-beat verve and a witty piano filled with quotes. The ballad Where is Love is a searching romantic serenade, and Monty transforms the Beatles Here Comes The Sun into blues-laced Latinesque with a taste of boogie. Monty takes the standard Love Walked In at a brisk pace as he demonstrates his considerable straight-ahead jazz chops, bop quotes and all. Check out the tasty walking bass and drum solos. The luscious calypso Brown Skin Girl is followed by Montys tender, wistful solo rendition of his The Dream Is Mine. The group stretches out on Miles Davis iconic So What, grounding the tune with a driving Latin-rock beat. They say variety is the spice of life and Monty Alexander and co. have seasoned this album to perfection. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Audiophile pressing & lt;br & gt; Analogue remastering (AAA) & lt;br & gt; Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; Liner notes, remastering information and a picture of the original master tape box inside & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Monty Alexander, piano & lt;br & gt; Eugene Wright, bass & lt;br & gt; Montego Joe, congas & lt;br & gt; Duffy Jackson, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180 Gram Pressing! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Crowned with one of the most fanciful covers in the entire MPS catalog, this October 1971 Baden Powell recording heralded in the second trilogy of the six LPs he recorded for the label between 1966 and 1975. Fueled by his artistic partnership with writer-producer Joachim Ernst Berendt, Powell was without a doubt the most inventive Brazilian guitarist of the period. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;On this album Powell and his new quartet sketch the sound tableaus that color the background for French singer Janine Waleyne. The singer had partnered with the likes of Stan Getz and Michel Legrand. For Powell she was an ideal counterpart to his guitar playing. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The journey begins with the sedate, almost somber samba & quot;At & amp;#233;-Eu. & quot; With its wandering nocturnal melancholy & quot;Viol & amp;#227;o Vagabundo & quot; follows a similar musical path. There's a funky feel to the popular hit & quot;Blues & amp;#192; Volont & amp;#233;. & quot; It also harbors one of the most brilliant scat choruses to be heard between Rio, Paris, and Baden-Baden. The theatrical finesse of & quot;Images & quot; ensures that virtuoso solo interludes shine between the vocal pieces. This is where we find the LP's other famous pieces - the classy & quot;Petit Waltz & quot; with its capricious, careening rhythms in the second section, and & quot;Conversa & amp;#231; & amp;#227;o Comigo Mesmo & quot; (conversation with myself), a fantastic hybrid of choro and baroque with a percussive foundation. The unpretentious serenade & quot;Sentimentos & quot; presents Powell as a profound lyricist; and & quot; & amp;#201; De Lei & quot; is a tongue-in-cheek celebration of chromatics. With its intensive dialogue between rock-oriented improvisation and a magical sensuousness, & quot;Canto & quot; closes out this richly colored album. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Audiophile Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Audiophile Analogue Remastering & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner Notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastering Information & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Picture of the Original Master Tape Box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made at optimal media GmbH in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Alfredo Bessa & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;atabeque/percussion & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Janine de Waleyne & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ernesto Gonsalves & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Joaquim Henriques & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Baden Powell & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;guitar/vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ate-Eu & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Petit Waltz & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vioalo Vagabundo & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Conversacao Comigo Mesmo & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Blues A Volonte & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sentimentos & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;E De Lei & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Canto & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g Pressing! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;With its intensive quartet, this 1975 recording again mirrors how far Duke, by his own admission, had moved away from the & quot;smug and overly serious jazz musician & quot; and towards a master of fusion, eager to experiment and add a note of humor to the music. With Santana drummer Leon & quot;Ndugu & quot; Chancler, bassist Alphonso & quot;Slim & quot; Johnson, and the Brazilian percussion magician Airto Moriera, Duke designed stunning scenarios in sound which once more reveals him to be one of the synthesizer pioneers. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;On & quot;Dawn & quot; he paints a fanciful daybreak atmosphere on the keyboards. On & quot;Floop De Loop & quot; he releases funky rushing rivulets from the keyboards. Whereas on the smooth rock piece & quot;For Love & quot; and soft ballad & quot;Fools, & quot; he appears on the scene as a soulful singer. There's something slightly naughty coursing through the bluesy, laid-back funk miniature, & quot;Foosh. & quot; Duke's former collaboration with the Mothers of Invention colored his versions of Zappa's & quot;Echidna's Arf & quot; and & quot;Uncle Remus. & quot; There's a samba touch in the relaxed tropical magic of & quot;Malibu, & quot; and the outro & quot;The Aura & quot; also swings to a Latin feel. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; Without question, The Aura Will Prevail is among this artist's finest fusion-oriented albums. & lt;footer & gt; -Alex Henderson, AllMusic.com, 4.5/5 stars & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Audiophile Analogue Remastering & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Liner Notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Picture of the Original Master Tape Box & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany by optimal media GmbH & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;George Duke & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;Rhodes electric piano, Hohner clavinet, Arp Odyssey, Mini Moog, Wurlitzer electric piano, Arp String Ensemble, Moog bass (A3, B3), Mutron Phaser, Mutron Dual Phaser, pedals, vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Leon 'Ndugu' Chancler & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums, congas, mystery voice on A2, vocal on B1 & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Alphonso 'Slim' Johnson & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;electric bass (except A3, B3) & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Airto Moreira & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;percussion (A1, B1) & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Sylvia St. James & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals (B1) & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Kathy Woehrle & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals (B1) & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Gee Janzen & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;vocals (B1) & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Dawn & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;For Love (I Come Your Friend) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Foosh & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Floop De Loop & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Malibu & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Fools & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Echidna's Arf & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Uncle Remus & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Aura & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Fellow violinist Stuff Smith marveled, & quot;He plays violin like Coltrane plays saxophone. & quot; Born in 1942, the French violinist transported jazz violin playing into the world of modern jazz. On Frank Zappa's urging, Ponty moved to the States in 1973. Over the next years he toured with Zappa as well as the Mahavishnu Orchestra. In 1975 he founded his own band and became one of the most prominent figures of the jazz-fusion movement in the USA, selling millions of albums that all reached the top of the U.S. charts. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;On the 1967 Sunday Walk the band saunters through two blues, a waltz, and a standard before reaching & quot;Suite for Claudia, & quot; which begins at a blistering pace with Ponty's saxophone-like & quot;brilliance and fire & quot; playing. It then settles into a medium swing groove with Wolfgang Dauner's infectious piano play followed by a smoldering Ponty. Daniel Humair's crisp drum solo segues into a heartfelt waltz. After all, this was written for Ponty's wife. Ponty is here with a group of Europe's finest at their youthful best. The way they play, it's all a walk in the park. Beside Dauner and Humair, legendary bass player Niels-Henning & amp;#216;rsted Pedersen completes Ponty's quartet. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot; & lt;strong & gt;The re-issue of this album by MPS makes me extremely happy as I consider it to be one of my best recordings from the '60s. & lt;/strong & gt; & quot; -Jean-Luc Ponty & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Wolfgang Dauner & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Daniel Humair & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Niels-Henning & amp;#216;rsted Pedersen & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Jean-Luc Ponty & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;violin & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sunday Walk & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Carole's Garden & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Cat Coach & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;You've Changed & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Suite For Claudia & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
