George Gruntz – Jazz Sound-Track “Mental Cruelty”

£19.50

First soundtrack work by George Gruntz for the Swiss film “Mental Cruelty”, originally released as a shortened 10″ vinyl album on the German Decca label in 1960 and immediately withdrawn. Full version of an outstanding modern jazz rarity, up there with other famous nouvelle vague soundtracks from the same period, like Miles Davis`”L`Ascenseur Pour L`Echafaud” or Art Blakey`s “Des Femmes Disparaissent”. Seventeen tunes played by an excellent sextet featuring Barney Wilen on saxes, George Gruntz on piano, Kenny “Klook” Clarke on drums, Marcel Peeters on sax and flute, Raymond Court on trumpet and Karl T. Geier on bass – incl. the original version of the world renowned “Spanish Castles” as later recorded dozens of times by many artists incl. Les McCann and The Jazz Crusaders
