Digital recording, February 1991 at the ORF RP4, Vienna.
This CD marks the recording debut of the VIENNA BIG BAND MACHINE.
The group was founded in 1984 by Stephan Mericka and played in and around Vienna for several months. Since Stephan was a manager but not a musician, he asked Hans Salomon to take over as leader. Hans breathed new life into the band, and since then they have played with such jazz greats as Joe Zawinul and Toots Thielemans, among others. Currently, most of the band members are musicians with the “Vereinigten Bühnen Wien”.
All of the compositions on this album are original, spotlighting not only the well-known talent of Hans Salomon, but also introducing the talents of several exciting young musicians.
The production was made in co-operation with the ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corp.), and the band would like to say a special “Thanks!” to Othmar Urban, whose generosity made the whole thing possible.
