Label: GorBra

Year: 1978

Condition: VG/VG 

One of the holy grails of "Jazz Funk recorded in Germany" - Fitz Gore's only 45 released in tiniest numbers on his private GorBra label in 1978. Cover shows wrinkles and ringwear. The record plays great with light distortion at the very end of Gisela (no damage to be seen, pressing related?) and light crackles at the beginning of God Bless the Child (due to some fine hairline scratches). Full tracks in low resolution in the clips.

From his psychedelic & latin jazz days in the 60s (check Head Hunters or El Chico) to the 70s Jazz-Funk era he produced a fat sack of fantastic tunes. This release from 1980 is no exception. What I love about this one is it's tenderness. A new side in Chico's oeuvre ... So many beauties featured on the LP - not easy to pick faves for the soundclip......

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/NM   

A double LP of newcomer bands recorded live in Würzburg / Bavaria. Various styles included here, but mots remarkable are the Jazz-Rock / Fusion acts like Re, Tzahara, John Schröder Quartet and ZONG. The latter COMPLETELY blew me away with their latin influenced Caramba, but check out the rest of the clip as well PLEASE!!

Style: Jazz-Funk / Latin Fusion

Format: LP
Label: Roxxon

Year: 1985

Condition: NM/NM

Funky Boogie-Fusion / Latin Jazz from Stuttgart, Germany. RE was the backing band for Ray Lynch's infamous and incredibly expensive dance exercise album so expect some funky tunes on their own LPs ... Featuring Georgie Red's Phil Edwards on vocals as well as Karin Haug's magic voice that you might have heard on the Matter Of Taste album. Freddy Santiago on latin percussion brings in a good bit of south american feel. The outcome is a wonderful genre crossing album. Highly recommended!

Style: Funkiest Fusion

Format: LP
Label: Sun (Private)

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+ some small dings on cover

Excellent album recorded in the golden years of private pressings. Sun is one of those groups who mingle funky jazzrock with latin rhythms adding a touch of progressive - without sounding like Santana :) Infact they're so funky that i almost labelled it a Krautfunk album. Strong horn section and their affinity to the boogie (not woogie ;) is hard to find among german musicians...

Style:  Jazz / Fusion / Blues / Disco Op Platt

Format: LP
Label: Blind Man (Private)

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+  

As one would guess this is a Live Recording. It says Volume I, but after investigating heavily I can tell you that there's no Volume II. Probably due to a lack of commercial succes. The concert was given in a small spot called Gulfhaus in the middle of nowhere (Northern Germany). There's some deep blues and bluesrock tunes on the album and even some funky disco "op platt" by the ever-funny north german original Jan Willem.

And there's a non LP track by the Fusion-Combo Matter of Taste around Fritz & Kathrin Haug. This track is a beast of driving funky fusion... and seemingly only available on this compilation.

Saxophone Joe alias Joe Kucera teamed up with Paul Esslinger and friends to record his first and only solo LP. Saxophone Joe recorded with the Framus Five in the late 60 in Czechoslovakia. He left his home heading for Berlin where he worked as a session musician for a lot of great productions.  Balance is well balanced and features some magic and mellow jazz tunes that will appeal to friends of the baleraic as well as to jazzlovers
