| MPS // Pt.2: MPS around the world - From India to Brasil and back to Europe August is the month of traveling and summer holidays. In connection to that, we will re-issue records with influences from all around the world this month. This week Denmark, Romania and Switzerland. Check them out: The Tremble Kids – The Tremble Kids Are Back This album could also could be titled ‚Some Like it Hot'. One of the best "Trad" bands on the European scene in the late 1950's thru the early 60's, this Tremble Kids '71 revival album highlights their special brand of New Orleans style and swing. Swiss Clarinetist Werner Keller reassembled the gang, including international stars trumpeter Oskar Klein, bassist Isla Eckinger, and drummer Charly Antolini, with Swiss pianist Jeanpierre Bionda adding a pinch of something modern to the mix. Maxwells – Maxwell Street This amazing album illuminates the universality of the 60's psychedelic rock phenomena. The five teenagers who founded what was to become the Maxwells first met at the Danish Church School in Copenhagen where they sang together in the choir. First working as a cover band, they added horns as their style gradually began to show the influence of such psychedelic groups as Jefferson Airplane, the Doors and the Greatful Dead. '67 was their breakthrough year with the band's first hit single, an appearance in the opera The Labyrinth at Copenhagen's Royal Theater, and opening for the Mothers of Invention. German jazz guru Joachim Ernst Berendt was so impressed that he immediately signed the group for this record. Yancy Körössy – Identification Recorded in 1969, this stellar MPS album was Romanian pianist Yancy Körössy's first recording in the West. Willis Conover, the Legendary cold war jazz disc jockey for The Voice of America was a fan of Yancy's music and subsequently obtained a visa for the pianist to emigrate to the US. Yancy spent the next decade in the States playing with many jazz greats before returning to Europe. For the album Körössy picked Austrian Hans Rettenbacher, one of the premier European bassists, and Swiss drummer Charly Antolini, who has spent a career playing with some of the masters of the music.
