Newly discovered sessions released here for the first time: Ten recordings by one of the greatest saxophonists of his generation, American jazz master Lucky "Eli" Thompson with the Michael Naura Trio, Quintet and guests in Hamburg 1959 and 1960

Small and larger group improvisations with the melodic sound of Lucky on tenor and soprano sax, featuring Heinz von Moisy, Hajo Lange, Jimmy Gourley, Wolfgang Schl�ter and Hans Koller. Hard bop with a nod to Lester Young ("Cherokee", "Thin Ice") and soft ballads ("Summertime", "Deep Passion"), all light, fluffy, intimately personal and with a lyrical bebop approach.
