Fritz Pauer, fantastic ! And great to hear that a young guy from the States spins his records. 
I could write many pages about him.
He was one of the very very best European pianists, like let´s say Tete Montoliu in Spain and he was my mentor.  Not only the best musician I could imagine, but also such a wonderful person. He took me under his wings when I was still almost a kid and I´ll never forget at one concert with some really fast company he let me sit in after intermission. 

During the years I heard him live, if he played trio it was mostly still with Jimmy Woode on bass, and the drummer was Tony Inzalaco. I heard him with all the US stars who visited Viena, with Johnny Griffin, with Art Farmer, Dave Liebman, Kai Winding......all of them....

Thanks for sharing those memories, Gheorghe.  Wonderful!  :tup

- Hines Does Hoagy
- My Tribute to Louis

Like Blue Note the  German MPS had unique artwork, too. Pop-art was typical for those early Seventiees LP covers from Musik Prduktion Schwarzwald. Stuff for a nice book...

I agree, Balladeer, MPS covers would make a cool book.  So many of them are strangely interesting. 

And a few of them are just plain strange!  :P

Speaking of James Reese Europe, has there been previous board discussion of this 2018 Archeophone release and the book to which it was a companion?

I ordered both the book and CD just yesterday, before seeing the dustup in this thread, weirdly enough. 

Does anyone remember that Europe was a character (played by Earnie Whitman) in the film Stormy Weather?
