Strings & Bones III
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Erich Kleinschuster's work with the ORF Big Band represents the sophisticated end of European big band jazz, captured on this 1980 WM Produktion release. Strings and Bones III suggests a series of careful orchestral explorations, bringing strings and brass into considered arrangements. Austrian broadcasters didn't commission casual projects, and Kleinschuster's background as arranger and composer brought real craft. The result is contemporary jazz respecting tradition while pushing toward something more exploratory and textural. Original pressings have become genuinely scarce, reflecting both the specificity of Austrian classical-jazz production and the way collectors have discovered these records. The music repays serious attention—precise orchestration, genuine inquiry, genuine craft throughout. If you're into sophisticated European jazz from this era, this is exactly the kind of working document worth pursuing.
