Onkyo Proudly Presents Jonas Hellborg

This album is a distinctive, spontaneous collaboration between Swedish jazz bassist Jonas Hellborg, the famous sarangi maestro Ustad Sultan Khan, and Indian percussionist Fazal Qureshi. The whole album has a dark, groovy funk element with Indian styles incorporated in a truly experimental way that's never been heard before. Surely, an album like this can give way to more improvisational music with musicians collaborating across boundaries.

This group from Germany played an innovative blend of jazz-rock in the early 1970s. Their debut album is often compared with very early Kraftwerk and Organisation, and their links with Kraftwerk go back to the late 1960s. In 1987 Waldemar Karpenkel, Dapper, and Schrumpf reformed the group with famed Swedish bassist Jonas Hellborg and keyboardist Thomas Bettermann and released the album Kollektiv Featuring Jonas Hellborg the next year.

Dutch girl Group formed around Patricia Paay. Originally formed as a gimmick for a Dutch TV-show ( with Yvonne Keeley and their mother Mrs. Paay) to perform a Andrews Sisters medley. Becoming a huge success, they replaced mother for Sylvana van Veen and became an act. After a few years the succees declined and they split up around 1987. In 2007 they tried to make a comeback with their former successingle "Stars on 45".
