- Joachim-Ernst Berendt: Was Ist Jazz ?
(1977, 2lp, Germany, mps)
In 1977, the MPS record label issued "Was Ist Jazz ?" (What Is Jazz), a lecture / presentation by Joachim-Ernst Berendt who discusses the different types of jazz and their origins.
An impossible task? Yes, of course.
The good thing, however, is that Joachim-Ernst's presentation is full of musical snippets and examples.
George Duke gets mentioned twice. Both times with musical fragments (including a nice part of 'Uncle Remus') !

But there's lots of other things to be discovered as well.
Joachim Kühn - 'First Frisco', from his 1976 "Hip Elegy" album;
Alphonse Mouzon (with Gary Bartz) - 'Master Funk' from his 1977 "Virtue" album.
"Was Ist Jazz?" was also made available as a 2 CD set !
Fun !
Fun !
