Peter Herbolzheimer - 1977

Live performances by the Peter Herbolzheimer "All Star Big Band". Recorded in two sessions . Tracks 1,2,3 & 4 recorded live at the Musikhalle,Hamburg on 20th November 1979 & Tracks 5,6,7 & 8 recorded in concert January 28 1977 at Philipshalle,Dusseldorf.

Eef only gets to solo on track 2 (The Mixolydian Highlander) but gives it everything he's got, with the backing band trying their hardest to drown him out in the last moments of his solo, however a terrific example of early Eef . One has to wonder how this kind of exposure didn't have more people taking notice of this new kid on the block !! Great performances from an all star lineup warrant the excellent reviews this double CD collection (available separately) has received over the years. Volume 3 however doesn't feature Eef on any songs.
