Alfred Haurand - Solo Bass Vitamine A+D

 
Style: Freedom Bass Suite

Format: LP
Label: Ring

Year: 1976

Condition: VG/VG+

 

One of the european kings on bass. And for sure the experimental bass kaiser. You wouldn't guess how entertaining a bass solo album can be. If his name doesn't ring a bell: Ali Haurand played with Third Eye, The Jan Huydts Trio, Tony Oxley, Wilton Gaynar, etc, etc. My first double copy went into the hands of Thurston Moore...

This copy here has an audible scratch in B1. No skips but quite a few pops (well around 20 rounds) Rest is NM. Priced accordingly

Alexander von Schlippenbach - Living Music

 
Style: Free Jazz

Format: LP

Year: 1970

Condition: NM/VG

 

Incredibly innovative improvised music recorded in the late 60 by – surprise, surprise – Konrad Plank! Schlippenbach played (in every sense) with FMP founder Brötzmann, Manfred Schoof, Han Bennink (one of Europe's TOP free drummers) and more geniusses...

Horace Silver Quintet / Sextet ‎– The Jody Grind

 
Style: Soulful Bop

Format: LP
Label: Blue Note (Keel Press)

Year: 1967

Condition: VG+/VG

 

One of Silver's finest - bridging the gap between Hard Bop and soulful Jazz. The record is an overall NM with a light scratch in Mexican Hip Dance that doesn't sound on my Ortofon 2M Blue. (Playgrade says: wonderful rich sound, four gentle pops throughout the whole album) The Cover shows bits of woc (see pics) The labels have an archive stamp  and one side shows a bit of a sticker tear.

Olivier Peters Quartet - Wings of Spring

 
Style: Modal Madness

Format: LP
Label: Village Music

Year: 1980

Condition: NM/NM

 

Please excuse me leaving out Joan Johnson in the title. Maybe I can praise her here by telling you that the vocal tracks are really the highlights of the already magnificent album. And I really wonder why this one does not have holy grail status as it's better than most of the german modal grails... You judge now!

Götz Tangerding is the man behind the infamous Bhakti Jazz album. THis one here is just as elegant and deep as Bhakti fans would expect. Wonderful modal piano work and lightweight but pensive rhhytmic arrangements. A Masterpiece!

Format: 7" EP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+  

 

The Jazzwheel album on the small View label isn't really easy to find. Now this little gem released 2 years before the LP is almost invisible. Especially under their first name MACHWERK 3 tracks - one modern, one modal and one latin jaz tune. ALL AMAZING. For Peter was featured on the album in a different version. For My Love and Brasil Express are exclusives. Speaking of exlusive ...

Wolfgang Lauth Quartett +2 - Jazz For Fun

 
Style:  Modal Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Trend

Year: 1983

Condition: NM/VG+ 

 

Don't be put off by the production date. This record indeed sounds timeless - well at least not like 1983. In my opinion a fantastic Jazz album in the tradition of the Kenny Clarke & Francy Boland Big Band etc. Among the players: infamous Fritz Münzer (Second Direction) on flute and Chuck Tscheschner (King Pin Meh, Sound Factory Inc.) on bass. Of course Wolfgang Lauth is doing a great job on the vibes.... The album features some wonderful waltzes and even a short trip to brazil.

Label: Océan

Condition: NM/NM

 

I save you from all this mad rare, never seen before bs and go straight to the vibe of this beauty. 5 out 7 tunes are unparalleled laid back and contemplative pieces. Beiers language is straight and honest, sometimes playful. They make it easy to fall in everlasting love...  I've also added one of the two hotter jams for you consideration.

Format: LP
Label: Verve Clef Series

Year: 1953

Condition: VG/VG+

 

Original MONO version with etched Cat. # in runout. Both record and cover borderlining VG+. The vinyl shows some light scuffs and plays with occasional soft pops spread over the record. No deep scratches. The cover is even better with a bunch of wrinkles and a bit of well taped seam at the upper end. No cuts, tears, etc. Really great for a record that is 55 years old!

Gitte & The Band is a proper understatement since the band is Europe's top Big Bands at that time - the almighty Clarke-Boland Big Band. I guess she looks that confident because it was a pleasure to record the album! First pressing on Hörzu.

Most excellent and pretty soulful free jazz with the exception of  the hard bopping Straight No Chaser. The remaining tunes are self penned compositions / improvisations.

Catalpa were 5 hobby musicians from Munich who recorded their only album in Hamburg. In over 20 years of digging for german jazz this is the second copy I came across ...

Günther Wiesemann on piano, Dietmar Hippler on drums and flute plus Ali Haurand and Benno Gromzig on bass.

Style: Contemporary Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG+

 

Thomas Stabenow's solo album from 1984 is a seldom seen rarity. All compositions on this release are written by bassmann Stabenow. From bass solo in Trio für Violone over duo and trios to quartet pieces - this record has it all. My fave is the drum and bass workout Stars but the pensive title track Chiara (8:12) is really wonderful either.

Das Stuttgarter Jazz Trio - Bei Behr

Format: 7" EP
Label: Private

Year: 1978

Condition: NM/VG+

 

Nicest copy of this uncommon jazz gem. All players are coming from a dixie or ragtime background. Nevertheless they have been playing with great names such as Mal Waldron or the local hero Joe Haider. When i discovered this i didn't expect much since the tunes are adaptions of german folk songs, but right the first track showed me that i was misdirected. Two of the four songs are fantastic modern jazz compositions. This is the original first issue with the foldout cover

A private compilation released by a Frankfurt Jazzclub. Sides 1, 2 & 3 are filled with Swing and I must admit that it's not my cup of tea at all. Side 4 is what I bought this for. The Sextet "Sounds" plays three compositions by Nat Adderley, Cannonball Adderley and Benny Golson. My highlight is the self penned Sound Spirit - a ten minute long and very intense session!
