The United Jazz+Rock Ensemble - Teamwork (Vinyl LP | German Release | 1978)

The United Jazz+Rock Ensemble – Teamwork is the first studio album by the group that grew out of a Süddeutscher Rundfunk TV band and brought together bandleaders such as Wolfgang Dauner, Albert Mangelsdorff, Ian Carr, Barbara Thompson, Charlie Mariano, Volker Kriegel, Eberhard Weber and Jon Hiseman. It was recorded from 13 to 16 January 1978 at Tonstudio Zuckerfabrik in Stuttgart. True to its title, nearly every member contributes a composition, from Ian Carr's "Gone With The Weed" and Volker Kriegel's "Stumbling Henry's Divorce March" to Mangelsdorff's "Wart G'schwind". This is the German 1978 LP on Mood Records (22999), sold exclusively through Zweitausendeins.
