German saxophonist and bandleader Max Greger formed one of the most popular of all dance bands in Europe in the 1950s, discovering a successful formula for mixing pop, jazz and swing tunes with a groove that made people want to move.
His bands always featured some of Europe’s best and best-known stars from the jazz constellation. The music, while always catchy and easy to keep up with, maintained firm roots in the jazz tradition, a component that dates back to the American bands of Benny Goodman and Greger’s hero, Glenn Miller.
Max Greger was always considered the funkier counterpart to Germany’s other band leaders that included James Last, Bert Kaempfert, Horst Jankowski, Kurt Edelhagen and Roberto Delgado.
This collection gathers 18 evergreens Greger recorded with his Tanzorchester between 1965 and 1973.
A great party.
