Mangelsdorff, Albert - Now Jazz Wamwong [LP]

The virtuoso trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff was one of the prominent figures of European Jazz of the 60s - 70s. Eastern influences with a perfect blend of Western culture characterized this album recorded in Frank- furt after the groups Asian tour. "Now Jazz Ramwong" sees the group in it's best shape: alto saxophonist Gunther Kronberg, tenor saxophonist Heinz Sauer, bassist Gunter Lenz and drummer Ralf Hubner. A really mind-blowing mix of jazz, folk and Eastern sounds. The album contains "Three Jazz Moods", a jazz adaptation of Ravi Shankar's music.
