MAL WALDRON SEXTET "UNNA 1979"

This concert in northern Germany happened more than one year after "Moods" ( here) was recorded.
The line-up is quite similar as for this concert - Manfred Schoof plays for Terumasa Hino and Jimmy Woode for Cameron Brown.
All songs are also on the LP/CD which I recommend to buy if you do not have it yet.
For me it's a masterpiece.
You can listen to both recordings - a rare chance for examining the differences and similarities...


Manfred Schoof, trumpet, fluegelhorn
Hermann Breuer, trombone
Steve Lacy, soprano saxophone
Mal Waldron, piano
Jimmy Woode, bass
Makaya Ntshoko, drums

ERICH KLEINSCHUSTER SEXTET & JOHN SURMAN "WIEN, JUNE 1969"

Erich Kleinschuster maybe isn't well know outside Austria and Germany but he's a musician who's played with many better known musicians.

From 1968 up to 1971/72 he made several studio recordings. Most of them were never released. And the two double CDs which were issued in 2005/07 in Austria only dissapeared soon after the release.

Among the featured guests were Dusko Goykovich, Clifford Jordan, Joe Henderson, Karin Krog, Charles Tolliver, Phil Woods, Slide Hampton, Art Farmer, Carmell Jones, Carl Drewo and John Surman...




Robert Politzer, trumpet, flugelhorn
Erich Kleinschuster, trombone
Hans Salomon, alto sax, tenor sax, bass clarinet
John Surman, soprano sax, baritone sax
Fritz Pauer, piano
Jimmy Woode, bass
Erich Bachträgl, drums

NOTE: Most collectors list this as June 13 1968, with Rudolf Hansen on bass.
However, the correct details from a copy of the original session log in the possession of a collector,  gives the correct date and personnel as above.
