SKU
21-Mood 4608
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, Charlie Mariano, Barbara Thompson, Eberhard Weber and more!
"The United Jazz + Rock Ensemble, or UJRE, is not your standard big band, nor is it an all-star ensemble in the usual sense, with a compact sound and various resplendent soloists. No, the UJRE is the "band of bandleaders", as it has often been called. 1978’s Teamwork, successor to the furious Schützenhaus album, shows the classic line-up of the band on top form: Dauner, Albert Mangelsdorff, Charlie Mariano & Co. harmonizing like a dream. In Round Seven from 1987, the ensemble gives the soloists plenty of room – for example, super-drummer Jon Hiseman, sensitive guitarist Volker Kriegel, or Eberhard Weber with his unmistakable bass sound."
