Cornel-Trio - Pi- Pa- Paddelboot

Lied der Zeit master AM 1095, rec. Berlin, September 1948.
Horst Kraft (tenor) Peter Cornehlsen (lead), Michael Lengbauer (baritone), and Bruno Klennert Quartet.
Many collectors in western Germany will not touch Amiga records; they believe that anything on this label is just a rip-off of Western material to somehow appease the poor citizens caught in the GDR in the 1950s. While this may be (to a certain degree) be true for a small part of the 1950s output by this label controlled by the government of Eastern Germany, the fact is ignored that for the better part of a decade after the end of the war Amiga was Germany's best jazz and swing label, featuring lots of homegrown talent (and some American "imports", too!). After all, in spite of the former regime's efforts, jazz and swing had alway been popular underground music in Nazi Germany, and now the young musicians were finally free to record. Here, a quartet led by clarinetist Bruno Klennert joins forces with the Cornel-Trio, a group that was founded by Peter Cornehlsen around 1946 and recorded some really fine swing harmonies (OK, in the Fifties they recorded more and more of that corny stuff so much en vogue then, but on the other hand, who did not?) - think again before you pass a pile of Amiga discs at your local flea market in the future ...

Thank you very much for this special presentation! *****

The Cornel-Trio has recorded many good records for the AMIGA-Label. Most of them was very swinging and funny always. I have a lot of AMIGA records. Often (lesser in the 2nd half of the 50's) we have on one side of the record a weak novelty song, but good swing on the back side.

1948 the Bruno Klennert-Quartet played with the following personnel:

Bruno Klennert (cl,ts)

Edgar Kausch (p,vib)

Rudi Abraham (g)

Franz Hildebrand (b)
