"Mainstream fans will drool over this baby!"
- JazzTimes
"The music by Hans and his friends is splendid ... it is the musical equivalent of finding buried treasure."
- Jazz Profiles
"... shows the saxophonist to great advantage ... he has gathered around him a group of talented sidemen that can swing with style. These are first-rate musicians who can play."
- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Viennese-born saxophonist Hans Koller spent most of his career in Germany and as such remains fairly unknown to many North American jazz fans. He certainly had the credentials; in the years leading up to this recording, Koller worked with jazz legends including Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton, Oscar Pettiford and Benny Goodman. The Jazzhaus label's Legends Live series serves to expose some of this obscure but superb European jazz to a wider audience. The material on this album was recorded in 1959 and 1960 with Koller's “friends,” consisting of Roger Guerin on trumpet, Michel de Villers on baritone saxophone, Martial Solal on piano, Fred Dutton on bass and Hartwig Bartz on drums. Percy Heath and Connie Kay of the Modern Jazz Quartet also appear on several songs along with the Hans Koller Brass Ensemble.
