Popis - SWINGING OILDROPS! (REMASTERED) [VINYL]:
Reissued on 140-gram vinyl, including MP3 download and printed innersleeves! "These days, where a young generation worldwide discovers good swinging jazz again, where Dexter Gordon returned after so many years in exile like a triumphator to New York and "young swinging Scott Hamilton" becomes something like a 'super-star', it is hard to believe that this album was recorded many years ago, as far as both artistic and technical standards are concerned. At this time, in the year of 1966, Beatlemania reached its peak and the beat and/or rock wave ruled the world of music. Nevertheless, Emil Mangelsdorff and his friends went into the studio to produce good swinging music with the idea that any good solid jazz is still superior to the best rock albums available then. To dream up an idea, that young listeners would hear the album occasionally, they even gave it a name similar to that of rock groups, a fantasy name: SWINGING OIL DROPS. The masquerade didn't help much but the music was and is superb." (Horst Lippmann, 1979).
