( LP JAZZTONE J-1259, AUSTRIA, 1962 )
From the vault of Paul D., a very rare LP documenting some fairly advanced Austrian jazz played in the early 60s by an “Austrian All Stars Band”. The recording features two different group settings:
Side A (1-4) Friedrich Gulda (bs, fl) Fatty George (cl) Dick Merphy (tp) Hans Koller, Hans Solomon (ts) Erich Kleinschster (tb) Robert Palitzer (tuba) Hans Rettenbacher (b) Vikter Plasil (ds)
Side B (5-8) Hans Koller (ts) Friedrich Gulda (p) Hans Rettenbacher (b) Vikter Plasil (ds)
Side A – pianoless as Gulda plays baritone – is the most interesting – and advanced. It recalls the spirit of some US “Jazz Workshops” (Mingus a.o.)
Side B is in quartet, a showcase for both Hans Koller and Gulda’s display of virtuosity (Cherokke a.o.).
All in all a very satisfying album.
I do not think it has been re-issued (or perhaps under a different name?). Does anyone know of a re-issue?
Shame if it hasn't, this music deserves to be heard.

With thanks to Paul D.
At least it isn't available since sixteen years - 100%.
ReplyDeleteMaybe in Japan there was a re-issue sometime ago...but not in Germany and/or Austria.
As far as I know it was never re-released in Europe at all!
My thanks go to Paul D and you - excellent music and post!
profound thanks for the public service of making this music available
ReplyDeleteThanks Zoot, unfortunately some grey-suit people keep calling us "pirates" and make it more and more difficult for us to find a reliable platform to share our enthusiasm for OOP music.
DeleteThanks for your support.
Thanks for this rare issue
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a find with Gulda on sax. I am glad that you posted it, despite all the problems with file service providers. Thank you so much. I hope you'll be able to dig up more rare and oop vinyl to share.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. There are many jazz and/or free music recordings by Friedrich Gulda (quite unlike most of his classical recordings) that have not been re-issued on audio CD *, and the record companies ignore Emails and postal letters requesting their re-issue on CD, from people who wish to purchase said recordings on CD.
