Jan Hammer \u0026 George Mraz","description":"\/\/ Side A: Moodys Mood For Love (James Moody) - It Ain’t Nobody’s Business (Billy Holiday) - The Theme (Billy Holiday) \/\/ Side B: Wade In The Water (traditional) - Tit-Bit (Pony Poindexter) - Don’t Let The Sun Catch Your Crying (Louis Jordan)\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the MPS label, post-war musical history was written in Germany: sophisticated musical productions with many international greats came out of the Black Forest and are legendary forever. Some treasures from the label's archives are being released by HGBSBlue on high-quality vinyl, such as this red-hot live recording with the Pony Poindexter Quartet from 1969.\u003cbr\u003e\nPoindexter, a saxophonist and singer, was a New Orleans native and settled in Paris in 1964, where he lived for many years. He is credited with important impulses for the soprano saxophone in jazz, and his strongly blues-oriented style is likely linked to his hometown. It was not until 1977 that he returned to the USA, where he died in 1988. In Munich, he met two young Czech musicians who had stopped over in the city after the end of the \"Prague Spring\" before embarking on their brilliant jazz careers in the USA: Jan Hammer and Jiri (George) Mraz.\u003cbr\u003e\nTogether with them, and German drummer Michael Dennert (1935-2016), the American saxophonist recorded this live album in 1969, on which the four musicians move in an expressive playing atmosphere, following in the footsteps of their musical ancestors from New Orleans. Hammer and Mraz already show extraordinary brilliance and maturity. Jan Hammer astonishes with his earthy organ playing and Jiri Mraz with his refreshing virtuosity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\"The Happy Life Of Pony Poindexter\" was the name of the album released on the MPS sub-label \"Session\" at the time. Today, after more than 50 years, it has been re-released, refreshed, and mastered. You can still feel the sparkling power and joy of life. Poindexter knows how to carry the audience away. Just like the musicians before him did in his hometown of New Orleans. Fiery jazz.","brand":"Pony Poindexter Quartett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55315674628440,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4260496410240.jpg?v=1760391678","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/pony-poindexter-quartett_new-orleans-fire-vinyle-lp-180gr-gatefold-pony-poindexter-quartett-feat-jan-hammer-george-mraz_2023_uvm","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
