reception

Andrian Kreye wrote in the Süddeutsche Zeitung , “It may be a coincidence that the trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff looks a bit like Jean-Paul Belmondo on the cover (...) in his early films for Claude Chabrol or Jean-Luc Godard . The record begins, however, in exactly the same casual mood with which the Nouvelle Vague made France film land. Improvisation to a sound originated in Frankfurt. Mangelsdorff puts a solo on the melodic saxophone setting by Four Brothers , which shows why he was sent to the Newport Jazz Festival as a kind of German ambassador the following year , even if it was not yet to be suspected that he would once be one of the leading voices of the avant-garde In the opinion of the author, the archival finds belong to "the best that cool jazz had to offer at the time."
