Herb Geller - An American In Hamburg (2LP)

This record kicks from the very beginning, in a way you would’t expect when looking at the cover: A white man in a brightly glittered suit and hat holding his alto sax.

The man on the sleeve is Herb Geller, an American responsible for all compositions, lyrics and up to six reed instruments. Further musicians hail from Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Denmark, including such jazz and fusion greats as Wolfgang Schlueter, Palle Mikkelborg and Philip Catherine. And man! This record really sounds fantastic! 

This release by Tramp Records comes with the original liner notes of the first pressing, including a surprisingly honest Herb Geller interview.
