For the first time, the previously unreleased
jazz recordings of the legendary German bandleader Kurt Edelhagen and his orchestra, which were recorded between 1957 and 1974 in the studios of the WDR, are presented here to the inclined audience sound-technically prepared in a 3-CD Box with detailed liner notes. Edelhagen, who was also responsible for many commercial recordings up to Schlager productions, shows here with his orchestra that these recordings are seamlessly in a row with the releases of the "big"
jazz big bands of that time. The development of the orchestra is generously shown on this 3 CD box from the swinging 1957 ensemble to the
experimental band of 1974. The names of the contributing soloists speak for themselves: Maynard Ferguson, Mark Murphy, Philly Joe Jones, Toots Thielemans, Albert Mangelsdorff, Benny Bailey, Jiggs Whigham, to name just a few. A MUST HAVE!!!
