Jan Hammer – Oh, Yeah? (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1976)

Jan Hammer – Oh, Yeah? is the first album by the Jan Hammer Group, released in 1976 on Nemperor Records, a year after Hammer's solo album "The First Seven Days". The Prague-born keyboardist, formerly of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, produced and mixed the record himself at his Red Gate Studio. Instead of a concept piece, this is band jazz-rock with vocals by drummer Tony Smith, Steve Kindler on violin, Fernando Saunders on bass and Hammer's synthesizers up front. This copy is the original German 1976 edition.
