Former label SABA now ----> MPS

Alto Summit - producer Joachim Erndt  Berendt

Yes , those were the days. SABA later MPS produced a lot of Beautiful stuff then. And Joachim Ernst Berendt was a key figure for me when I was a Young Boy. His "Jazzbook" was the ideal guide for me as a jazz starter to dig into the history of jazz, the musicians, the styles, the bands, the records, everything. Later he would write books that seemed more strange to me, to much exotic Philosophy, but the "Jazzbook" still is an important item in my jazz library….

The Berendt ‘Jazzbook’ in the English paperback was one of the first books on jazz  I ever read. Still have it.

Unlike Rex Harris’s abomination, it actually covered modern jazz very well.

Well yes had  about the same experience like you both and  still have my first "The Jazzbook" and a later edition as guideline.  He was voted for some time as CEO of the Berlin Jazz fFestival and introduced many (at that time far out and unknown artists). Produces also some albums whuch are really good.  I do agree about his later work. Jazz wasnt enough anymore after he was voted as "professor" and did lectures. I have corresponded with him about leaving the road of jazz. At that time he way allready away in these strange philosopies and had left the radio station SWF  after taking with him the complete collection he had buildt with the stations money. But somehow the judges gave him right.

Now we should say De mortuis nihil nisi bene

Huh? In this day and age you can go online at I don't know how many different site, create a design and have it in your hands in about 10 days or less.

I've designed many t-shirts at Zazzle.com and used other companies for shirts Zazzle refused to make (supposed rights infringement).

my guess is they wanted it to pop out in the racks in the psychedelic late '60s... much prefer the UK design, though. Lovely record.

That makes a lot of sense. I prefer the UK design as well. Its an interesting record given the juxtaposition between side 1 and side 2.
