‘The Romanian trombonist and composer Peter Herbolzheimer led one of the most hard-swinging, innovative, successful European big bands in history. Lineups included Art Farmer, Herb Geller, Dieter Reith, Sabu Martinez… This 45 presents two brassy, funky highlights from his 1973 album Wide Open.’

‘From the trio’s elusive Ultra Native LP, released in 1971. J.B.W. is hard-grooving fusion with dark minor chords, opening with an almighty drum break. Soft Hands Had the Rain features Peter Trunk strutting his stuff on Fender bass, as well as cello overdubs, alongside Rokovic’s brooding improvisations on electric keys.’
