* var.art.: landeswettbewerb baden-württemberg - jugend jazzt 1999
(1999, cd, ger, chaos cacd 8143)
It looks like Baden-Württemberg has a jazz festival / competition every year. This cd presents the laureates in the following catergories: school big bands (up to 18 years of age), big bands (up to 25 years of age), combos (up to 25 years of age) & a special prize. This very nice sounding disc includes compositions by Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus & Randy Brecker, to name a few, and also two zappa pieces (by the special prize laureate):
Dry Pack Emendingen: Blessed Relief (fz)
Dry Pack Emendingen: Son of mr. Green Genes.
It might be a coincidence, but one of the other bands is called GTO Big Band Osterburken.
