Must be this one:

That's the band before Tom joined, but still sounds very lively. Had forgotten about this and just ordered a copy myself.

 

That's the one 

[clifford_thornton]

Das Erich Kleinschuster Sextett Live -- (Preiser)

hadn't dug this out in many years. Uneven, but some strong moments.

Is Fritz Pauer on piano ? He was my favourite pianist and my real mentor, no Pauer, no Gheorghe.....😀

Erich Kleinschuster was ok, I heard him do some really slippery trombone on a rapid version of "Move". 

He was mostly a teacher to. But if I ever would have wanted to get formal teaching I would have preferred to be taught by Fritz Pauer. I saw him almost every day to hang out and talk about music, he let me sit in when I was 18....dig that !

Any good?

[mikeweil]

I am heavily biased as I saw this band live about five times. There are sound samples on the Sonorama label's Bancamp pages, they reissued this and the second Mombasa album.

Indeed he is, and certainly a highlight. Incredible that you knew him!

Nice selection. Had the Yusef and sold it; have the Free Improvisation and Khan; have heard the Bajas...

I'd probably buy the Boulez if I saw a European pressing in a shop. Looks good.

[mjazzg]

Yeah, it's been a good day off's listening. Funny you say that about the Boulez, I was just looking at a German press of it. It is good

[Rabshakeh]

It's a great piece.

Yes, Kleinschuster led the ORF big band in the 1970s/early 80s. I don't know Fehring at all.

Fehring was more a composer and became famous for other kinds of music than directly jazz I think. But it is true that he had founded the ORF Big Band in the early 70´s . 

But see, personalities like this were not let´s say "the cat´s you met around the corner in all them clubs, were you met the musicians every night". It´s possible that even Kleinschuster was not really such a cat you got easy in touch with, like let´s say Fritz Pauer. I saw Kleinschuster not so often in the clubs, but Pauer always was somewhere.
