Towering anti-war statement and a tribute to Martin Luther King, rooted deep in funk and spiritual symphonic music, mixed with Balkanese, Yiddish, German and Spanish sounds.

Big respect and thanks to Mladen Gutesha

    You're thinking about Mladen Franco who did stuff on Golden Ring & Sonoton

    Roskow, could you give same background info on this release? Was it previously unreleasd? How was it unearthed?
    How did the musicians react, when they heard that this will be rereleased?

    sorry, i did not know that this was maybe the wrong place to spread the info..... what is the right place then? cheers

    at gaz & finelikewine:

    Mladen Gutesha...... Born December 16, 1923 in Sarajevo / Bosnia.
    He studied on the university for Music in Belgrade for five years. In 1947 he founded Jazz Orkestar Radio-Televizije Beograd, which he conducted till 1953. He moved to Germany where he played for US-soldiers what brought him into contact with Benny Goodman. He started to work for german boardcasting organisations like SDR, HR and NDR. He leaded some studio orchestras and came to work with Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett and Egberto Gismonti. He also teached on the Swiss Jazz School in Bern.

    aliases: Bobby Gutesha, Gerd Bauer, Sonny Steffen

    I found this LP maybe 12 years ago in a 2nd hand shop overhere in Berlin. And after years standing in my shelf, Ekki of Sonorama Records had an interest to reissue this very outstanding german album.
    I was really happy that someone finally had an interest into this very undiscovered and rare LP, that not much people knowing about.

    Mladen reacted quite well after asking and telling him to reissue this album.

    thanks guys for your deeper interest
