SKU
21-Mood 4611
Great price on two complete releases that were previously hard to find and expensive. Dig who's here on one or both of these - this is a supergroup: Ian Carr, Wolfgang Dauner, Jon Hiseman, Volker Kriegel, Albert Mangelsdorff, Barbara Thompson, Dave King and more!
"The United Jazz + Rock Ensemble was a group of a very special kind. This 'band of bandleaders' emergied in the mid-1970s from Wolfgang Dauner's Elfeinhalb Ensemble. The original CDs Die Neunte von United (1996) and X (1999) are live recordings. Neunte includes the addition of inspired saxophonist Christof Lauer, bassist Dave King and trumpet sophisticate Kenny Wheeler. On X, Lauer and King are accompanied by trumpeter Thorsten Benkenstein and guitarist Peter O'Mara. The result sounds funky in places, more rock-influenced in others. In any case, the accomplished all-rounders of the UJRE always deliver unorthodox jazz-rock in a class of its own."
