Certain Lions & Tigers – Soul Condor( 1970 Germany Jazz-Rock, Jazz-Funk)Full Album

The musical entity Certain Lions & Tigers was a studio project led by German trombonist and bandleader Peter Herbolzheimer in 1970. It was not a conventional, continuously touring band, but rather a large ensemble of jazz and funk session musicians assembled for the specific purpose of recording a single album, Soul Condor. Background and Concept The project was a European "euro-funk" and big band jazz initiative, aiming to blend bossa nova, lounge, soul, and pop sounds with a full brass section and a "psychedelic feel". The album, released in 1970, featured instrumental, dance-oriented arrangements of well-known contemporary songs like Lee Hazelwood's "These Boots Are Made For Walking," "Wade In The Water," and "Scarborough Fair". Key Personnel The project was directed by Peter Herbolzheimer, a respected figure in the European jazz scene. The contributing musicians were notable session players, including: Trombone/Director: Peter Herbolzheimer Trumpet/Flugelhorn: Art Farmer, Ack van Rooyen, Dusko Goykovich Alto Saxophone/Flute: Herb Geller Organ/Piano: Dieter Reith (whose Hammond organ work was a key feature) Drums: Tony Inzalaco, Jörg Gebhardt The name "Certain Lions & Tigers" itself was a studio moniker for this specific recording, rather than the name of a long-standing group. The album achieved a minor classic status within the rare groove and funk collecting communities due to its unique sound.
