...and the GDR Sunday Afternoon BBQ music! that's the tin band, right?

...and the GDR Sunday Afternoon BBQ music!

thanks for playing tooter. For the piano player on the final track (not Bryant, not Loussier), see my remark in post #47. I will provide some bonus tracks of this group when the answers are posted. does that mean you know all the others? #3 you will have heard before -- actually both #2 and #3 in this order #7 you have in your (vast) collection

two cigars! I don't know how I came to think of this as Hipnosis - they've got as/tb in the frontline... it's the sound! it's HIP!

I like this response much better than NMCOT or WTF!®

rather than a distinct leader with a bunch of guys in the band, this is more of a collective.

two cigars!

indeed. The track is available on CD together with the Getz 1960 Warsaw performance

it seems I need to break this in two to make the quotes work: not Mulligan. I love how the vibes stumble in there out of the blue and later on there's a guitar there too all of a sudden. Indeed a typical GDR Sunday afternoon barbecue affair. Interestingly, the soprano was invited from abroad. actually, this is not Wanja and his gang! This is the real thing from way back when. cultivated is the right word for the clarinet, the guy played with Benny Goodman, paying plenty solo duties. Mike scooped up the cigar for identifying the players, but other details are still lacking. not the Romanian. It's the pianist who didn't play piano on track #5!

I doubt the bassist looked much at what Haden was doing to arrive at his style. This is his bag 100%. Only one drummer, lovingly restrained at that. Not Alber M. The fact that the piano enters at all so late in the game is pretty cool I think. You should know these guys, Ubu! no Desmond, yes eastern euro dudes. a pianist indeed led this date, just that he didn't play piano. The pianist did pen the tune though. stick to your first hunch and I'll hand you a cigar. no expats. I think you should have this track somewhere. yesyesyes the cigar for Iancsi already went to tooter! This is not from the MPS album with the Swiss power drummer. yup. for once the tuba solo is the longest of the bunch!

Notes per pound/dollar? I have a problem with this unless you are paying "primo" prices for the music. If you get pleasure, what is the limit? You're being grumpy again Chuck. Think "damn this is good, I wish it lasted longer than 37 minutes!"

they just don't have states like Moldavia... if I were Angela Merkel I'd offer them Thueringen or maybe Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (the latter would even include couw, but that's one of the more attractive features); ey, we's got a big ass G8 fence too! some shipyards, a bunch of trees and all that nature... that should increase value

Track 12 is not such an example.

seems 1972 is the year, 14 march the date with Evans, p; Eddie Gomez, b; Marty Morell, dm. unknown tune at US TV broadcast featuring the Grammy Award Winners of 1972

Is this the Kühn brothers? I remember Joachim used to be kind of Tyneresque early in his career ... Otherwise, clarinet is not my favorite blowstick, so I don't know too many practitioners. take it easy guys, I'm running out of cigars!

collection of Philips Artwerk by Weninger here

and the answer is: Emmerich Weninger leave it to vice Dutch google champion 2004* to solve this one for you! just to let you in on the proceedings: I googled up "platenhoezen" "philips" and found out there is a book on that; went to the publisher where there was a list of illustrators included, among which Emmerich Weninger as the only one with the appropriate initials. Googled him up and found this. Proof enough!

Philips Microgroove LPs indeed have alternative covers. I have a handfull, all originally issued on Columbia and all from the mid 50s, just like your Brubeck. My guess is that Philips had a distribution deal with Columbia. Mine are all made in Holland BTW.

Cigar for tooter! As a rabid anti-smoker (no objection so long as I can be somewhere else) I would have preferred a different award. But I shall hard copy and frame the comment. Could you do a Couw-type graphic to go with it???? I know, I know - no time! here you are then

not quite right on the country or the tune. But almost, so here's a bonus (click). Yes, love it! What would Desmond have said. I know 6 not Take Five of course but a European (?) bandwagon attempt? the Take 5 bonus was recorded in 1963, one year before the same band recorded track 4. They developed much for the better during that year.

Rocky spilled the beans on this one. ...and as he did, it is no use to keep it a secret so I might as well point you to this site that recently put up a vinyl rip of this great album. Go get it, who knows how long it will remain available.

the title of the tune couldn't be better chosen. this is one of three big national "Radio Orchestras/Big Bands" of the time. The leader normally performs on piano, but switched to the drum set for this one. He also did the arrangement. Very able players in that band, which played a variety of styles in a several settings from trio to sextet to large ensemble. I don't know how they recorded it, but this is not an electric bass! Well, I do know how they recorded it: crappy and then the pressing wasn't too spiffy either. Surely some bite got lost there. This is the trio setting of the big band on 12 actually. hah! glad you like this one. I really like how new motifs are brooding at the bottom of the kettle to rise to the surface gradually until the whole band hits their groove. nope, not Theo, think earlier. Rocky spilled the beans on this one. I have some more tracks of the man playing piano. He performs elsewhere on this collection on a very different instrument. It seems you liked most of this stuff, so I am happy.

thanks Mike it's about 50/50 really. bassist is probably the biggest "name" here. The drummer ended up leading a big band. wild enough indeed, but not Jiři. I think you are spot on when you say these guys are not taking themselves too seriously. Although they are definitely dedicated players, they strike me as a bunch that knows how to have fun. not Polish. Interesting that you pick out the drummer. He has played in all kinds of settings, from Dixie to light pop to free jazz both in small and large groups. The trumpet player got much better later in his carreer. See above for an explanation on the strange ending; I wish it had been without the fade. You would know the flutist as he appears elsewhere on this collection, albeit playing another instrument. hey, I need you to identify that whack instrument played during the second part. This track is part of an amazing album and doesn't shine as much when taken out of that context. the trumpeter may not (yet) have his own tone, but his phrasing with melodic lines stretching across the bars is something else. The level here isn't top-notch as you rightfully indicate, but they play their hearts out with what they have. my sentiments exactly. Again lots of conviction and belief, which makes up for a lot. he wants to say that his feghing hands are on fire! drummer has already appeared (and will appear on yet another track); bassist will be heard again on this BFT.

Cigar for tooter!
