That's one of the best Big Band-Recordings ever! Peter Herbolzheimer was a real genius!

[@janpeters3893]

This is absolutely unbelievable. Only blood, sweat and tears are able to create such kind of music.

[@neilloughran4437]

I love all the Peter Herbolzheimer LPs of the 70s. What is weird is how badly they were viewed in the jazz magazines at the time... those journalists knew nothing! This still holds up almost 50 years later!!

[@ullscarf]

How were they viewed?

[@neilloughran4437]

@@ullscarf back in those days the journalists weren't happy with anything going in a funky direction... they were dismissive of anything that didn't sound like 20 years earlier... I recall a review of their Wait A Minute LP where they just complained about the "out of tune organ"... totally ignoring the playing and orchestration...

[@ullscarf]

@Neil Loughran Yeah, I got into jazz in the early 90s and the scene then was dominated by 70s funk/fusion. I'd pick up a jazz encyclopedia and look up Herbie Hancock, for instance, and it would say bop pianist, modal innovator etc and then write off an entire decade by saying something like - he recorded a few commercial albums in the 70s before returning to proper jazz. Things haven't changed that much: the fairly recent Blue Note documentary skipped from the early 60s to the 80s as if soul jazz, jazz-funk etc never happened.

[@neilloughran4437]

@@ullscarf yeah pretty much the same. I recall a review in a 60s magazine about a Herbie release and they just said that Herbie seemed to just play "random notes"... and that reviewer ended up being a relative big name in jazz circles in UK.

One word.........Excellent.

Großartig, aber leider nicht mehr so bekannt!🤔 Der Peter Herbolzheimer kommt ja aus Rumänien (Siebenbürgen), wie Eugen Cicero und sein Sohn Roger. Eine Live-Aufnahme ohne Tricks! Fantantisch gut gespielt.

[@GESYmbH]

Yes, recorded live in Domicile Munich. I was there some times later, but unfortunately did not see Herbolzheimer there. I saw him 4 times live. One in Bonn as a Benefiz-concert for Peter Trunk, who did in New York at an accident. The other was live at the University cologne and 2 times live at Subway, Cologne. Very nice.

Was at Ronnies in the 70`s live seeing them and great....

Ignore the critics, they're only fielding their prejudices, just like I'm about to. Except that my entirely favourable feelings toward this band are backed up by the British musicians who worked with Herbolzheimer; guys like the late Ron Simmonds, and the late supreme trumpeter, Derek Watkins. They rated it equal to Clarke-Boland for testing, exciting arrangements which demanded supremely capable musicians. And just look at the roll call PH players - th best in Europe, inclusind the UK.

Peter's a legend. I made at least three different instrumentals with this one track, all different in vibe and tempo. This is our hommage to you, Peter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGrTiH6iaNCKbJI :)
