Wow, has that ever been on CD?? (the Vaclav Zahrdnik disc, that is) I don't think so. The LP is relatively easy to find, though. Someone posted a sample track (B1 - "Hello Tony") on his blog recently.

not overrated, but often unnecessary. If your original disk is good, any ole ripper will do the same as EAC does, only MUCH more intuitive, often faster and with a lot less hassle. It's like using the Rolls Royce to deliver pizzas, it's good and it works, but you need to check what the driver thinks about the road and he slows down to a stand still whenever there is a bump. Usually it's easier to take the Vespa.

Litha and Windows on Stan Getz - Sweet Rain (rec. 1967)

Fact? Sure, if you want to make a fool out of yourself then bring your observation to the programmer's attention.

Listening to this as I type and it's damn good! As ep1str0phy writes above, the music is extremely directed: it goes wham-bam right through the middle with lots of drive and energy. The liner notes mention that the Joachim Kühn Trio + Rolf had been touring and playing larger venues in the GDR (because Rolf was such a famous guy, remember he won the Downbeat award in 1962). Joachim considers this music the best his trio + Rolf have played during that period. When he left through Austria, he took a copy of the tapes along and sent it to Nesuhi Ertegun who really liked it and wanted to release it on Atlantic. They then played the Newport Festival in 1967, however, where Thiele offered to record them for Impulse!, which resulted in the "Impressions of New York" album. Ertegun considered two albums to be too much for the market and the Atlantic project was canned. Rolf is a strong player who has no problems keeping up with the exuberant ideas of his brother and Koch, the bassist. Technically, Schwartz may not be the best drummer, but he is very free and very supportive. Seems he has some big ears and lots of experience playing with this group.

that's the one I have. It's a clear CD without any text on it. It says Abraxas/ESP-Disk (Italy). No, I meant the Calibre issue (those are the ones where the jewel cases are packed in a red cardboard box with a small cover reproduction on front - yet another of ESP's licencees, I think (not from Italy but I think from the Netherlands). my Bells is not a needle drop. It has a black cover with orange print and there was a wrap around that I put in a box somewhere. I also have NYE&EC and Spirits Rejoice from the same Abraxas series.

The resemblance is there! I'm not sure I'll like the sound! from what I have heard, the sound is up to the usual modern clinical standards. The arrangements are very sweet with plenty of strings and harps and flutes and other earcandy. Trijntje's is more of a pop-voice and this is another if at times sophisticated jazzy pop affair.

I agree with Al. Well I don't. There are so many versions of this tune. . . this is not one of my favorite ones. But . . . you go guys! I don't either. I love the 'Jazz at Massey Hall' version, and the Art Blakey version on Blue Note, off the top of my head. The Dutch novelist and jazz authority Jules Deelder, who made some great jazz record compilations ( Deelder Draait, Deelder Draait Door, Deelder Blijft Draaien and his last one Deelderhythm) wrote a story titled Nacht in Tunesië. So open your Dutch languages courses and learn that this story has nothing to do with the tune. yup, you may like your Tunisia, but Tunisia will forget about you by next year.

and Coltrane's Blue Note fits in between those two recording dates

oy! RIP

Kohl could have opted for the GDR anthem, but no... Lasst uns pflügen, lasst uns bauen, lernt und schafft wie nie zuvor, und der eignen Kraft vertrauend steigt ein frei Geschlecht empor. Deutsche Jugend, bestes Streben unsres Volks in dir vereint, wirst du Deutschlands neues Leben. Und die Sonne schön wie nie über Deutschland scheint, über Deutschland scheint.

Völker, hört die Signale Auf, zum letzten Gefecht Die Internationale Erkämpft das Menschenrecht

true, you will want the Jazzanova comp Formation 60 for some East German jazz tunes.

I only know Schwartz from Trio dates with Kühn, he's okay. Koch was the bass player of choice with respect to free-jazz oriented dates in the former GDR.

more searching: that seems to be saying February 22 and 23 at the bottom right

Rolf Kühn(cl) Joachim Kühn(p) Klaus Koch(b) Reinhard Schwartz(ds) that's the Joachim Kühn Trio of the time with Rolf added, which fits the "Jazz in der Kammer" description I have pity I have no track list of that concert. This is for the CD you describe: 1.Golem 2.Chiarescuro 3.Don't Run 4.Flowers In The Dark 5.The Sound Of Cats 6.Turning Point

Are you sure this is EAST Berlin? The last GDR (Mitweida) concert by Joachim -- sans Rolf -- was in May 1966, he left the GDR through Vienna one week later. Rolf was a welcome guest from Hamburg (West Germany) before that time, but seeing that his seminal Solarius album on the GDR Amiga Jazz label (1964/5) was pretty much boycotted after Joachim went over, I can hardly imagine the two of them performing in East Berlin in 1966. Leafing through some books, I see there was a "Jazz in der Kammer" (E-Berlin) concert by the Kühn brothers on 31 January 1966. Maybe this is it? Do you have any more details on the personnel?
