FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1976 German first edition on ECM, cat. no. ECM 1066 ST.

What are shenai and nagaswaram?
Both are Indian double-reed instruments, similar to an oboe. Charlie Mariano had studied them in India and uses them on "Yellow Fields" alongside the soprano saxophone.

What do Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means nearly new, with at most minimal signs of use. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of wear that barely affect the overall impression. Side 1 sits between NM- and VG+, side 2 is NM-; the cover shows some corner wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Yes, for example Eberhard Weber – The Colours Of Chloë, Eberhard Weber Colours – Silent Feet or Later That Evening. You will find more titles in our Jazz category.
