| “ | When Oscar Pettiford first arrived in Germany in September 1958, he could scarcely believe the enthusiasm with which his music was received there. Not that he had been short of success to that point - he had been a pioneer of bebop in the quintet of Dizzy Gillespie and Max Roach even before Charlie Parker's breakthrough. It was the dawn of a new jazz era and with it the bass became a solo instrument. These sessions resulted in a set of unique recordings, standards mostly, which provided the alternating ensembles with a harmonic basis from which to launch into improvisation. | ” |
