European jazz sounds unreleased live recordings & rare radio sessions

"Brilliant work from pianist Michael Naura - one of our favorite players on the German scene at the start of the 60s - and one of the few who was really picking up the best sorts of soulful currents from the American scene! Most of the work here features Naura's excellent combo with Wolfgang Schluter on vibes and Klaus Marmulla on alto sax - both equally-great players who work with Michael's piano in a vibe that maybe rivals some of our favorite Prestige Records material of the period, but also has some slight European modern currents too - always at a level that keeps things soulful and swinging, but with a vibe that's pretty darn fresh! 2CD package features well-recorded, non-LP material by the group - a great complement to their famous debut record on Brunswick".
