RARITY #51

HANS KOLLER NEW JAZZ STARS
"HANS KOLLER COOL JAZZ"
EP MANHATTAN 66035C (EP)        GERMANY, 1958  
Onxidlib sent me a rip of this rare little EP several months ago.  I hesitated a long time before posting it because it was not in too good condition despite onx' efforts to clean it.  
But there is only so much one could do and  
it is the only occasion probably for most of us to hear this beautiful music ... so here it is.

If anyone has a better copy or the complete Bertelsmanm LP, I'd be delighted to post it.



 Albert Mangelsdorff is especially good on these tracks.
Albert Mangelsdorff, trombone
Hans Koller, tenor saxophone
Helmuth Reinhardt, baritone saxophone  
Hans Hammerschmid, piano
Peter Trunk, bass
Rudi Sehring, drums

 A1. Hard Blues (Mangelsdorff)
A2. Back In Paradise (Hammerschmid)

 B.  I'll Close My Eyes (Reid)

Recorded March 26 - 28, 1958 in Baden-Baden, Germany.
Original (?) release on BERTELSMANN 7753 (LP) with seven more titles.

P.S :  at the request of visitors, I am reposting Wolfang Lauth's Life Dance and the last track of Stanley Cowell 's Blues for Viet Cong.

 Get' em while it lasts!!!

    just checked and this is the same session(s) as rarity #48 which seems to be 7753 and EP not LP. We now therefore have 7 titles from these sessions. Are there more ? Anybody with Koller discog ?

    I've just checked it and zoot's claim is correct!
    There were two EPs from the session on March 26-28, 1958.
    Track A2 from this post is not "Back In Paradise" - it was misnamed.
    The correct title is "Willi der Bär"!
    Also they recorded four more titles: If I Had You - Stella By Starlight - There'll Be Never Another You and Back In Paradise.
    Apparantly these four tunes were never issued...

    some connection here with the SWR radio concerts in Baden Baden ? hard to believe a recording session which apparently took three days produced only 7 usable masters.
