The big band features a stellar lineup including Alan Skidmore, Charlie Mariano, Franco Ambrosetti, Daniel Humair, Dom Um Romao, Peter Herbolzheimer, Palle Mikkelborg, Howard Johnson, and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. It contains live recordings from a concert held at the Schauspielhaus in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1976. The album showcases a magnificent sound, combining a rich brass ensemble with Gruntz's own Arp 2600 synthesizer. A2, where Mariano's soprano and Ambrosetti's flugelhorn float like mist, and A3, where Romao's primitive Brazilian percussion and Johnson's tuba create a mysterious soundscape, are also superb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2: \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260401\/OMH26010304_a2.mp3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEpitaph for a Friend\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3: \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260401\/OMH26010304_a3.mp3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNix Tango-Time\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2: \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260401\/OMH26010304_b2.mp3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEl Commendador\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51294111072480,"sku":"OMH26010304","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_9918.jpg?v=1774997249","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/the-band-directed-by-george-gruntz-recorded-live-at-the-schauspielhaus","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
