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!   

 

 

Last night and again now:

- 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!

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?

Excellent CD. Chombo Silva was supposed to perform on these sessions but suffered a stroke shortly before. So it became a heartfelt tribute. This was, btw, the last copy available on discogs.

I like it very much. Montellanico is an excellent singer, IMO. And with Konitz, Rava & Pieranunzi, there's no shortage of top-flight soloists.

Beautiful cover!  I wonder why they replaced it with this:

 

... I think because the new cover has a more up-to-date look and therefore could sell better.
