Albert Mangelsdorff - Now Jazz Ramwong

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.
