German jazz pearls from the 1960s

Perhaps I can contribute something personal? In 1963, I came into possession of a graphically very attractive catalog put up with jazz records. He was released by Deutsche Grammophon, which at that time held the distribution of Verve, United Artist and Brunswick. Among other was. There presented a plate "Rolf Kühn feat. Klaus Doldinger". Rolf Kühn I knew at that time not yet with my little 16 years, but probably Klaus Doldinger, who just finished his plate "Doldinger - Jazz Made in Germany" had published in the PHILIPS twen series. Often it attracted me to buy these Rolf Kühn plate, but my pocket money was not enough back and forth. When my records Etat was sometime lush, there was no longer the plate. The same thing happened to me with other boards, such. As with Ingfried Hoffmann's Tales Hammond.

By chance I discovered the Rolf Kühn plate a few days ago. My dear wife has received from this discovery and my joy Wind and gave me a copy of this CD spontaneously. (Treasury, also in this way a heartfelt "thank you!")

The music is very fresh and has received excellent. The tension between the world of sound of tenor saxophone and clarinet makes a considerable appeal of music. Additional sonic accents come from Ingfried Hoffmann Hammond B3, accents that are quite far from the world of Jimmy Smith. And the rhythm section of Hermann Schoo Santander Walt on bass and Cees See swings elated. (Cees lake should be in 1965 a regular member of the Klaus-Doldinger Quartet, where he stayed before Doldinger turned to the fusion music.)

I want to complain about however - also belongs possibly to review - the brevity of the pieces. The average length is a mere 3 minutes and 29 seconds. No sooner have you been listening to a piece, it is already too late. That was probably the time of the single records.
