THEY WERE ALL THERE BUT I WASN’T

Jazz Gala Concert ‘76

Jazz Gala Big Band Orchestra 
conducted by Peter Herbolzheimer  (LP Atlantic, 1976)


"The Jazz-Gala-Concerts took place in West-Germany from 18 thru 23 January, 1976, enjoying live-audiences in Hamburg, Hannover, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Wiesbaden.

In a sort of co-production, Second-Channel TV-(ZDF) jazzproducer Reinhardt Knieper commissioned Hamburg's bookingagency Karste Jahnke to ask composer-arranger-bandleader Peter Herbolzheimer to organize an All Star Bigband and - since it was the opener for a regular TV jazz-series - use prominent international talent suitable, and available. Thus, an accumulation of famous jazz musicians became reality, a jazzfan's dream, with musicians which normally fill halls on their own.

Some of the most remarkable highlights (composer-arranger-soloists-credits see inside the cover) and experiences of this tour were the reunion of the famous Gerry Mulligan-Art Farmer frontline, the successful vocal performance of the fantastic drummer Grady Tate, Stan "the man" Getz in a nowadays rare bigband surrounding, Nat Adderley and his jazz-evergreens, the unique trombone of Albert Mangelsdorff and the unique trombone artistry of Slide Hampton, the social and musical consensus of everybody taking part.

In all - this LP is a document of contemporary (i.e. 70s) big band-jazz which will last for a long time. "

    Thanks for this one, boogieman - when I saw the cover, I thought it was an album I already had on vinyl, but it ain't. The one I have has the same photo and title text, but is credited to All Star Big Band - a double album with other guest soloists, recorded on January 28, 1977, on German Telefunken label....When I get my facilities for recording vinyl properly sorted out (ie, a new sound card!), I'll try and see what I can do to run it off.....I know a lot of private blog people who will want it, too!!.....

      Thanks for the contribution. Much appreciated. Superb band as usual with Herr Herbolzheimer. It's good to hear that this band was still in full force in 2006, we are usually more familiar with his 70s material. I'm also glad to see the contribution of a few Belgian (Marc Godfroid, Bruno Castellucci ...and John Ruocco -American but a long time resident in Belgium.
      I won't make a post out of it because it is too recent. It;s safer in the comments.
      Cheers

    No problem. As long as it gets to anyone who wants to hear it. I assume jazz in general is so under the radar and non commercial no one would care but I could be wrong. Better safe than sorry. Bill
