Blow that trombone, Jigga




Sorry for that stupid title!
This is Jiggs (Oliver Haydn) Whigham's second album under his own name.
The first one is "Values" on the infamous MPS label from the black forest and
is really hard to get nowadays. Besides from that album he appeared on a bunch
of great MPS records like most of Peter Herbolzheimers Rhythm Combination & Brass joints or on Charly Antolini's funky "Soul Beat" or on Peter Trunk's massive "Sincerely P.T." on the superrare Aamok lable ( I will probably post that in few weeks time). I like this one more than his first, because it's a great mix of up and down, slow and fast, jazzy and funky, latin & even a feel of boogaloo.

Produced and arranged by Jiggs Whigham
Jiggs Whigham - trombone, percussion
Ferdinand Povel - saxes, flutes
Rob Franken - piano, fender rhodes
Nils Henning Orsted Pedersen - bass
Grady Tate -drums

Recorded in Cologne , January 24th 1976.
Released 1977 on Telefunken

    Please, is there any hope to have other records by him? For example those on MPS.

    My best regards

    I would gladly welcome the post of Peter Trunk´s LP. I heard two pieces in the seventies in a local SDR radio broadcast (yes, they broadcasted music like that back then), but never saw a single copy of the album since thirty years.
    I like his playing on Volker Kriegel´s "Spectrum" and I´m curious, what his solo-album is all about.

    Great Blogs, Phil!
    Seems like you're into Sitar sounds!
    Check out my latest Post. There's a LP with a very colourful cover. It holds 2 very beautiful uptempo Sitar-Funk tracks.
    By the way - here's something for you:

    Phil!

    You're a jazz man!
    I looked up your El Reza Blog and it is (was) filled with extraordinary goodies. That Michael Naura LP for example is one of my favourite Jazz LPs ever! Lots of the LPs featured there, I don't even know.....

    You said requests:
    I'm still looking for the first Frederic Rabold Crew LP on Calig (and will post the later ones "Open House" and "Balance" in a while as well as some Wolfgang Dauner)

    cheers,
    Basso
