Pony Poindexter- New Orleans Fire: Live 1969
SKU: 4260496410240
Vinyl LP pressing. In Munich, Pony Poindexter met two young Czech musicians who had a stopover there after the end of the Prague Spring before starting their successful jazz careers in the USA: Jan Hammer and Jiri (George) Mraz. Together with them, as well as the German drummer Michael Dennert (1935-2016), the US saxophonist recorded this live record in 1969, on which the four musicians move in expressive playing mood in the footsteps of their musical ancestors from New Orleans. Hammer and Mraz already show their extraordinary brilliance and maturity. Jan Hammer amazes with his earthy organ playing and Jiri Mraz with refreshing virtuosity. The Happy Life Of Pony Poindexter was the name of the release on the MPS sub-label Session back then. It has now, after more than 50 years, been re-edited, refreshed and mastered. You can still feel the sparkling power and happy gut feeling with which the music was made. Poindexter knows how to carry away the audience. Just as the musicians before him did in his hometown of New Orleans. Just hot jazz.
