ERICH KLEINSCHUSTER SEXTET & JOHN SURMAN "WIEN, JUNE 1969"

Erich Kleinschuster maybe isn't well know outside Austria and Germany but he's a musician who's played with many better known musicians.

From 1968 up to 1971/72 he made several studio recordings. Most of them were never released. And the two double CDs which were issued in 2005/07 in Austria only dissapeared soon after the release.

Among the featured guests were Dusko Goykovich, Clifford Jordan, Joe Henderson, Karin Krog, Charles Tolliver, Phil Woods, Slide Hampton, Art Farmer, Carmell Jones, Carl Drewo and John Surman...
