Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky Octet - Live in Moers '79


Announced in the festival program as the E.L.Petrowsky Octet,
actually this group is the Ulrich Gumpert Workshop Band that

  1. The good news is I believe that those same FMP discs are available now through Jazzwerkstadtt.

    Thank you for posting this.

  2. Thanks a lot, Riccardo!

    FMP 0600 and FMP 0710 were re-released on Jazzwerkstatt JW070.

    The double CD includes both former FMP LPs. All titles from the Moers recording are to be found on this reissue which I would like to recommend!
    Maybe I can identify the unknown track later.

    Again - this recording from Moers is very much appreciated!

  3. Thanks to all concerned, this should be awesome. One FMP lost in the shuffle is the early album "Just for Fun", one of the Clown's old faves. The East German scene was of tremendously high quality and expressiveness, those unfamiliar with it are in for a treat!

  4. Great music. Only one problem, the correct name of the band is the Ulrich Gumpert Workshop Band.
