Masterpiece from one of Austria's most famous Jazz musicians! After the break-up of the Hans Koller/Oscar Pettiford group in 1959, Koller played with very few exceptions as a freelance musician with more or less good rhythmsections. During this time he thought about new ideas of presenting his music, being very much under the influence of his second career as a painter. The result was a music very much of his own, very modern in style and without any parallel to anything that was happening in Jazz then. Even today, this music sounds surprisingly up-to-date and unique. However that these recordings sound more unique than any other collective improvisations with other musicians demonstrates a total identification of Hans Koller, the soloist, with Hans Koller, the composer.
