Description

SUNBIRDS 'Zagara' LP (Germany, Garden Of Delights, Catalogue #LP 026) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited Garden Of Delights label LP edition (edition of 1000 copies only) of 1973 German progressive jazz/rock fusion album by Sunbirds.

(NOTE: NUMBERED, LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 COPIES ONLY!) 

'Fusion from Munich, some smoothly relaxed kind of music with Latin influences. After the first Sunbirds LP from 1971, with Philip Catherine on guitar, the album is the band's second and last one, recorded in 1972 and released in 1973 (Finger 2396101). It is the first vinyl re-issue, drawn from the master tapes, including the bonus track "Mbira" which was then recorded during the same session. All of the musicians were masters of their trade. Drummer Klaus Weiss, keyboardist Fritz Pauer and bassists Jimmy Woode and Ron Carter were world-famous even back then, and the others were in no way inferior. The nine artists were so skilled that nearly all recordings were perfect at the first attempt. Unfortunately, the two studio albums should remain the band's only releases. There weren't any Sunbirds gigs for lack of time. With 8-page deluxe insert in LP size.'

'One of the many international Munich fusion bands, these were a veritable supergroup. On their debut SUNBIRDS they made a dreamy, yet powerful fusion with an abundance of solos, extensively featuring Belgian guitarist Philip Catherine, feeling like a spacey Embryo cum Miles Davis. The later ZAGARA is said to more easygoing mainstream fusion.' - The Crack In The Cosmic Egg
